We are going to continue discussing the reef aquarium facts submitted by our members. Do you agree or disagree? What are your thoughts?
Fact #27
Crocea clams can extend a thin sheet of specialized mantle tissue out of the bottom of their bassal opening, which then dissolves the substrate underneath and around the clam via chemical means. The underside of their top mantle can also be used to produce and dissolve calcium carbonate material such as their shell, coral skeleton and limestone.
Truth or False? What else might we need to learn on this subject? Please also share any pictures that may pertain to the subject.
