Saddle Oyster – Heteranomia squamula 

For a long time I wasnt sure what these little clear circles were on the rockyshore, until I found one that was a bit more grown up and realised these were saddle oysters. They are smooth, almost clear delicate shells when younger and grow a bit more white in colour and with a sturdier shell when they are older! A bizarre but interesting rockyshore find – the video I first filmed then was this one!
