@focus.dive.travel: Tridacna gigas, or the giant clam, is the largest species of its genus and the biggest living bivalve mollusk. Found in flat coral sand or broken coral at depths of up to 20 meters (66 feet) across the Indo-Pacific, these clams are facing rapid population declines and local extinctions. The maxima clam, another type of giant clam, has the widest habitat range, including lagoons and fringing reefs. Giant clams can weigh over 200 kilograms, grow to 120 centimeters, and live for over 100 years. During daylight, they open their shells and extend their mantle tissue for algae to photosynthesize. ———————————————————————— Tridacna gigas, ou palourde géante, est la plus grande espèce de son genre et le plus grand mollusque bivalve vivant. Présent dans le sable corallien plat ou le corail brisé à des profondeurs allant jusqu'à 20 mètres (66 pieds) dans l'Indo-Pacifique, ce bénitier est confronté à un déclin rapide de sa population et à des extinctions locales. La palourde maxima, un autre type de palourde géante, possède l'habitat le plus étendu, y compris les lagons et les récifs frangeants. Les palourdes géantes peuvent peser plus de 200 kilogrammes, atteindre 120 centimètres et vivre plus de 100 ans. À la lumière du jour, elles ouvrent leur coquille et étendent leur manteau pour permettre aux algues de réaliser la photosynthèse. 📍Ras Disha, Hurghada, Egypt 🇪🇬 📸 With @olympus TG6 🤿 with @my.ocean.lovers #scubadiving #scubadivinglife #diving #underwater #underwatervideo #underwatervideography #underwaterphotography #oceanlover #nature #plongee #viemarine #foryou #traveltiktok #underwatertiktok #scubadivingaddicts #💙💙💙

Those Tridacnas you find also in some parts of Caribbean Sea just in front of Venezuela, which is my country. A friend of mine have found a shell empty on the beach, but it was forbidden to take it.
