Distribution
This Southeast Asian species occurs in the Tak Province in northern Thailand.[4]
Feeding habits
Like all snails in the clade Neogastropoda, this species is carnivorous. It feeds on different types of worms and gastropods, often eating other, larger snails after burying themselves and ambushing their prey.[3]
Reproduction
Clea wykoffi consists of defined male and female genders, and is not capable of gender change. It is unknown as to how to sex these animals. Both males and females seem to be the same size and shape. When a male and female mate, they lock together for 8–12 hours.

gollark: It's a mod.
gollark: Every part of this makes perfect sense.
gollark: And *then* you mint it with a numismatic press into bitcoin which you sell for RF.
gollark: Well, it's bitcoin *ore*, you need to refine it into bitcoin and then blockchains.
