Giant clam - Tridacna gigas

This yellowish green one was a small one in a lagoon slope algae patch. We've been watching this one grow. Over time the algae retreated, leaving the clam awkwardly on a sandy lagoon slope. After having to dig it out of the sand a couple of times to keep it from being buried, we relocated it to a small reef (next photo).
