巨硨磲蛤(巨型硨磲貝)

Giant Clam

Tridacna gigas

簡介

壽命超過百年的海洋之母。色彩斑斕的外套膜其實是為了讓共生藻行光合作用而展開的太陽能板。

A century-old mother of the sea. Its incredibly vibrant mantle is essentially a solar panel deployed to help symbiotic algae photosynthesize.

雖然傳說中牠會夾住潛水員的腳不放，但其實牠閉合的速度非常緩慢，對人類幾乎沒有威脅。

Despite the old myths of them trapping divers by closing their shells, they actually close very slowly and pose almost no threat to humans.

尚無潛點紀錄。
