We can meet up with bivalve molluscs at most places that we go SCUBA diving. They are even out on the sand – in which they bury themselves with just their opening visible.
A relatively large bivalve with a distinctive appearance! We used to call it the Zigzag Oyster for obvious reasons.

Our largest bivalve; it's technically a protected species but is still very much at risk and no longer gets a chance to grow to a full size, sadly.
