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.
