The snail's life history and environmental requirements remain largely understudied, but it is known to have a one-year lifespan with continuous recruitment in warm spring systems.

Declining spring flows and groundwater levels, driven by increased human water usage, significantly reduce the snail's habitat area.

Additionally, nitrate pollution from agricultural runoff could lead to the growth of filamentous algae blooms, which would degrade the habitat by shading out bryophytes and eelgrass.

This unidentified source adds a layer of vulnerability, as potential pollutants from unknown origins could adversely affect the siltsnail population.

[2] Floridobia mica is categorized as critically imperiled both globally (G1) and within Florida (S1) due to its highly restricted distribution and vulnerability to environmental changes.
