Natives, who tread the reefs, carry
a chisel with them, in case.
When the valves are open to
capture food, they resemble color

flesh has two openings, one long
slit, the other a large cone. The
acknowledgement and bright en-
erald of the flesh is not for en-
ticing food, since the clam depends
upon the plankton floating in the
water. Fine hairs swish the water
into the open valves where a highly
specialized organ sorts the food
needed and waves 1t into the
mouth. The cone exhales every
thing not needed.
Sometimes while quite young, the
clam finds itself wedged into a
crevice. Here it remains. But its
valves are restricted somewhat ano
