These are all pictures of clams that my brother and I took a couple years back. Just thought id share for fun! I really wish I could have a few of these

this clam was a few feet across. Thats why the shot cameout so blue

these clams were super sensitive to movement. Hence why some are all clammed up

Thankyou These were mostly taken on osprey reef which is about 120 miles NE of Cairns, australia and some were taken along the actual GBR. Got to go on a 5 day liveaboard

That second one (solid black) almost looks like a tevoroa. The mantle is way too smooth though (and tevoroa's don't have pronounced teeth).

Are tevoroas really rare or something?

I've never seen one in captivity, they are really rare and I think they are protected. That clam looks like a Squamosa to me but it's extremely hard to tell with so little shell showing that I'm not anywhere near positive.
