Ctena mexicana

Group: Other
Typical depth: 0–2 m

A burrowing clam of calm, sheltered water, the thick lucine buries itself deep in oxygen poor mangrove mud, where it dominates confined patches of swamp. It draws no food from hunting; instead it filters fine particles from the water and relies on chemosynthetic bacteria in its gills.
