This genus is characterized by its unique morphological features, including a highly modified mouthpart structure adapted for scraping microalgae and detritus off surfaces. Amonardia species are typically found in marine environments with abundant algal growth, such as rocky or coral reef habitats. They contribute to the maintenance of healthy algal populations by controlling their growth and spread.
