Description

As the tide came in, Alvin found this clam. I think it's a file clam (Lima lima)! I've never seen one before. It has long LONG tentacles and snaps its valves shut to move about. After we took a photo of it, we put it back where we found it.

More about this bivalve on the wildfacts sheets on wildsingapore.
