Pectinidae sp. 3
18.9mm

This shell resembles that of Juxtamusium coudeini but the inner surface of both valves is pure white. It could be a variation. Specimens have been found hidden in lagoon patches of Halimeda algae, with at least one empty shell on the seaward reef slope.

We are not sure if all the empty shells below are the same species.

The next one was just a single valve.

A very small specimen.
