This adaptation is joined together with its ability to make use of the decaying organic matter and particularly in disturbed environments like urban gardens and agricultural areas.

Its role as a decomposer in the ecosystem is very important, as it contributes to the breakdown of plant materials and recycling nutrients back into the soil.

Observations have shown that the species prefers damp environments making it vulnerable to habitat modifications like deforestation and urbanization.

The reproductive strategy of T. corallinus involves laying eggs in moist soil, where juveniles undergo molts before adulthood.

The millipede's lifecycle and survival strategies enable it to establish populations rapidly in introduced regions, often outcompeting native decomposer species.
