Scallop: Phylum- Mollusca. These scallops were spotted in the Steinhatchee River. Pictures were taken using an underwater camera. They were living in tall sea grass. The blue dots are their eyes. The organism is encased with a hard shell and their organs are inside. The hard shell varies in color from brown, white, and even red. Depending on how old the scallops are some grow barnacles and algae on the shells. They are about 2-3 inches in height and about 2 1/2 inches wide. They swim by opening and closing their “mouths”.
