This is a herbivorous bottom dweller (up to 370 m deep), which feeds on seagrasses in the genera Zostera and Posidonia.
A few species are found in the ocean depths, but most prefer low intertidal zones and subtidal waters among eelgrass, hydroids and bryozoans.
Ostenfeld, C.H. & C.G. Johannes Petersen (1908) On the Ecology and Distribution of the Grass-Wrack (Zostera marina) in Danish Waters.
They are found in tropical to temperate waters, often associated with sea grass beds (e.g. Posidonia and Zostera).
The eelgrass limpet now appears to be totally extinct, but up until the late 1920s, this species was apparently quite common, and was easy to find at low tide in eelgrass beds, in many sheltered localities on the northeastern seaboard of North America.

This small limpet used to live on the blades of Zostera marina, a species of seagrass.
Gonionemus is a genus of hydrozoan that uses adhesive discs near the middle of each tentacle to attach to eelgrass, sea lettuce or various types of algae instead of swimming.
Their eggs are deposited in round or oval jellylike strings, attached to eelgrass or sand.
The bay contains a long, curving sandy beach which is often covered with dry seagrass.
This small false limpet lives on the leaves of the marine plant, eelgrass.
Dr. Demas observed that subaqueous areas met the definition of soil by being able to support rooted plant growth (such as Eelgrass) and had formed soil horizons.
Projects financed included a programme for return of large migratory species such as salmon to the Rhine, which received nearly ECU 5 million, and re-colonisation of eelgrass in shallow coastal waters around Denmark (EU funding of ECU 252,500).
Eelgrass once grew in abundance in Barnegat Bay, New Jersey, where it was harvested, dried and used for insulation in houses, such as the governor's summer mansion in Island Beach State Park.

The Seri language has many words related to eelgrass and eelgrass-harvesting.
They are Halophila beccarii (貝克喜鹽草), Halophila ovalis（喜鹽草)，Ruppia maritimia (川蔓藻) and Dwarf eelgrass Zostera japonica (矮大葉藻) among which Zostera japonica was first found in Lai Chi Wo in 1979.
