This species appears to be unique among terrestrial gastropods in that it is bioluminescent: Its eggs glow in the dark, and juveniles and most adults give off flashes of green light.

This species occurs in Singapore, Malaysia,[2] Cambodia, the Philippines, Fiji, and some islands in the Rhio Archipelago.

[4] The purpose of the snail's bioluminescence is not yet fully understood, but it is thought to have some relation to animal communication.

This organ consists of a 0.5 mm-wide cluster of giant cells[3] and is a part of the suprapedal gland.

[4][7] In captivity the snails can feed on cucumber, lettuce, carrots, apple, and boiled eggs.
