Short description Morfologi
The valves are thick, heavy and triangular in shape, often covered with reddish spots and obscured by encrustations. The mantle is a deep yellowgreen, irregularly mottled at the periphery and in the center.
Collected for food and shell, the latter commonly used in the shellcraft industry (Ref. 348). Maximum depth from Ref. 75831. In relatively shallow water, in lagoon, barrier and fringing reefs (Ref. 106851). Found in intertidal areas on corals (Ref. 75831). Tridacnids derive their nutrition from uptake of dissolved matter through their epidermis and from their symbiotic zooanthella Symbiodinium microadriaticum (Ref. 107098).
Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Broadcast spawners. Life cycle: Embryos develop into free-swimming trocophore larvae, succeeded by the bivalve veliger, resembling a miniature clam (Ref. 833).
