Short description Morfologi

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.

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

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).
