This species of snail mostly consumes greens such as cruciferous vegetables, salad greens, and yucca plants, as well as fruits and vegetables such as papaya plants, fennel, and lilies, among other things.

An “imina” is a half-moon-shaped nose pin constructed from the Australian trumpet snail’s shell that was worn (or still is worn) by the Aboriginal Australian people who inhabited the Pennefather River in Queensland. Only men may use this nose pin; women use a piece of grass instead. If the shell is still fresh, it can be used right away to create one of these nose pins. However, if it is dry, the shell must first be submerged in water for two to three days. Then, using a stone, a section of the shell close to the suture and the keel on the body whorl is removed, and it is then crushed down with water. The resultant item, which resembles a rib, serves as the nose pin.
