I'm curious to learn what type of clam this is. I'm just starting out with underwater photography and I'm loving it! I accidently found this guy (or girl) when I turned my focus light on and something moved. It looks like a clam but I can't figure out which one it is? Granted I'm new at searching for critters I find!
Please let me know if you can help and also please let me know if I should post more information about this!
Looks more like a scallop to me (note the eyes). Do you have a pic of the shell?
Oh... I'm glad I posted here if it's a scallop as I just don't know what it is. i have two other images, however they are a bit further away. The shell was covered with sand / debris as seen as above or it was just buried really well. To be honest I couldn't make out the shell and I watched it for about 10 minutes. I didn't want to touch it either. I took a video too if that helps? It kept opening and closing it's and it was the size of an iPad mini approximately
I love all those lovely blue eyes.......
Here's a link to the videos I took... does anyone know how I can change the title to say this may be a scallop?
