This is the most common turban shell on rocky shores. They have a thick chalky operculum (structure that fits and protects the opening of the shell), which is often called a "cat's eye". They are algal feeders. In other countries, they are collected as food, and the "cat's eye" made into jewellery, and even paper weights.

The taking of turban shell commercially is mainly restricted to NSW waters. The NSW Sea Urchin and Turban Shell (SUTS) restricted fishery is relatively small with few divers participating. The main constraint on development in NSW at this time is high processing costs and limited domestic markets.
