ALWAYS AMAZING
What are you looking at?
This beautiful photo is in fact a close up view of one of the many different types of clams that are found on the Great Barrier Reef.
Found just offshore Lady Elliot Island this particular clam is a Tridacna sp. Each individual clam has a different variety of colours and patterns, just like our fingerprints are all different. The spot is in fact not an eye but a siphon that is used in feeding, locomotion, respiration and reproduction through the flow of water. Photo credit: Deborah Dickson-Smith.
