Amazing clams in Mayotte...

I have never seen so impressive and different shells underwater as in Mayotte. Here I would like to share with you my best of selection. For sure one of the most interesting (and at the same time the most difficult to photographe) is the thorny oyster, on the first picture. It is big around 30 cm and close itself when you approach it.

A bit smaller but not at all less magnificent is the shell on the second picture. The colours of the coral oyster look almost surreal and they shine in the water and when the sunshine passes through the water too...

The giant clam (most of the time purple, brown or green) are the one on the fourth and fifth pictures. They can reach from 20 up to 100-150cm...
