When feeding, the ventrally translucent-white muzzle (1) is spread out on the substrate and the outer lips (2) moved aside to expose the mouth edged anteriorly by the rim of the red-brown jaw (3). The radula is extended to gather, with the jaw as a backstop, decaying vegetation, diatoms (Wiese & Richling, 2008) and sediment rich in organic material which are bound into food boli with mucus from the supra pedal gland brought to the mouth along a median groove.
