Brightly colored, heavy shelled bivalve with long, ribbed, leafy projections in radiating rows. Commonly yellow or orange, although some are pinkish. Inside is white. Highly variable in form, lower valve conforms to the shape of the substrate, upper valve usually becomes worn and looses color and sculpture.
Lives fixed to the substrate, with lower valve cemented in place (Ref. 3248). In Belize, it was found in a submarine cave near Columbus Cay (Ref. 87209).
Life cycle and mating behavior
परिपक्व अवधि | पुनरुत्पत्ति | मछलीऔ का अंडे देना | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Members of the class Bivalvia are mostly gonochoric, some are protandric hermaphrodites. Life cycle: Embryos develop into free-swimming trocophore larvae, succeeded by the bivalve veliger, resembling a miniature clam.
