The small islands that surround Nosy Be have a beautiful coral reef. It is certainly not the Egyptian or Maldivian, but many colorful fish can be observed. But it seemed right to pay homage to this beautiful giant Tridacna, the largest existing bivalve mollusc, whose valves, crossed by wide longitudinal ribs, can reach a meter and a half in length, while the total weight can reach 300 kg. I was happy to still be able to use my old underwater camera which still works great. Photo taken on the barrier of the island of Nosy Tanikely. Giant clams are the members of the clam genus Tridacna that are the largest living bivalve mollusks. There are actually several species of "giant clams" in the genus Tridacna, which are often misidentified for Tridacna gigas, the most commonly intended species referred to as “the giant clam”.
