Scallop & snails BCUW©JMC_152J

Add to Lightbox

A Giant Rock Scallop (Crassadoma gigantea) is covered in red algae, crustose, and stripes snails. A Giant Rock Scallop is noticeable only by its orange mantle with black eye dots. They reach 6" in diameter. Juveniles are free-swimming, but they settle into a rock crevice for the remainder of their life and are sessile, allowing sponges and seaweeds to grow all over the outer bivalve shell.
