A Note on “Change of Mind”: As each shell is a natural, unique item, I cannot accept returns or exchanges due to a “change of mind.” Please review the photos and dimensions carefully to ensure it’s the perfect “ocean companion” for you.
We are deeply committed to sustainable and ethical practices. All our shells are sourced responsibly—never from live-shelled creatures. We support marine conservation efforts and maintain transparency about our sourcing practices.
Tridacna crocea is the smallest species of giant clam, known for boring into coral rock to protect itself from predators.
Unlike most clams, it hosts symbiotic algae inside its mantle, allowing it to gain energy from sunlight—one reason Tridacna species are found only in clear, shallow reef waters.
