 Code Number: AAMV01P04_01 Title: Giant Scaly Clam, Heron Isalnd, Australia
Notes: The mantle (soft tissue) within the shell is brightly coloured brown, blue and/or green. This is due to the microscopic algae known as zooxanthellae living inside the tissues which photosynthesise (manufacture food) from sunlight and the waste metabolic products of the clam.
