Members of this order are predominantly gonochoric broadcast spawners. Members grow from the embryonic stage to planktonic trochophore larvae to juvenile veligers before reaching their adult stage.[3]

Distribution[]

O. miliola is a demersal sea snail and can be found in the tropical regions of the Western Atlantic.[4] Also off Jamaica and Martinique; also on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
