and the sub-Antartarctic Islands. One species, '' Cellana radiata'', is cosmopolitan. These sea snails feed by grazing on green macroalgae growing on rocky substrate in the intertidal zone. Some of these limpets can live up to 7 years, however most do not get older than 2–3 years. They reproduce by broadcasting their spawn in large, yolky eggs in great numbers (between 20,000 for ''C. flava'' and ''C. denticulata'' to 230,000 for ''C. ornata'').
