Anilao Clams (Bivalvia)

This page links to photos of clams (phylum Mollusca, class Bivalvia) that we have photographed on dive trips to the Anilao area of the Philippines. Clams make up a fairly large group and we did not specifically seek out clams to photograph, so this page represents only a small sample of the species that would be expected to live in the area. Many of the IDs are tentative. We welcome corrections at uwkwaj@yahoo.com.
