Walking clam - Scintilla sp.

An enjoyable find was small bivalve that extends a lovely thin yellow or white mantle over its valves. This is one of several species found at Kwaj and belongs to the group of Scintilla clams. They can often move quite quickly by extending a strong foot to push or pull themselves along. 10mm
