Distribution
editAnentome jullieni occurs in a small stretch of the Mekong River between Bandan (Ban Dan Ky) and Sambor (Kaoh Sambor) in Cambodia.[4]
Feeding habits
editLike 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
editAnentome jullieni 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.
