Limaria Arcuata
''Limaria'', the file shells or file clams, is a genus of marine (ocean), marine bivalve molluscs in the family (biology), family Limidae. Description Shells of species in this genus are thin. The valves are swollen and the shells gape at both ends. There are no teeth on the hinge line. When alive, these species can be recognized by the fact that the soft tissues are red and a large number of tentacles are visible beyond the edges of the shell. Species The following species are found within the genus ''Limaria'' according to the World Register of Marine Species: * ''Limaria africana'' (Bartsch, 1915) * ''Limaria amakusaensis'' (Habe, 1960) * ''Limaria angustata'' (G.B. Sowerby II, 1872) * ''Limaria arcuata'' Turton, 1932 * ''Limaria auaua'' (Dall, Bartsch & Rehder, 1938) * ''Limaria basilanica'' (Adams & Reeve, 1850) * ''Limaria cumingii'' (G.B. Sowerby II, 1843) * ''Limaria dentata'' (G.B. Sowerby II, 1843) * ''Limaria fenestrata'' (Prashad, 1932) * ''Limaria fragilis' ...

Limaria Hians
''Limaria hians'', the flame shell, is a species of small saltwater clam, a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Limidae. This species is native to the northeastern Atlantic Ocean. Biology The flame shell resembles a scallop with a bright orange fringe of tentacle-like filaments emerging from between the valve of its shell. These bivalves create nests through the use of byssal threads to bind small stones, shells and other detritus together, enclosing themselves as form of protection. Individual nests expand over time, eventually overlapping with other nests and consequently forming expansive reefs. Holes in the reef allow fresh seawater to flow through, preventing stagnation. These reefs support a diverse marine ecosystem with one study showing six nest complexes supporting 19 species of algae and 265 species of invertebrates. Distribution This species is found in the northeast Atlantic, ranging from Lofoten to the Canary Islands, including the Mediterranean Sea. In the ...
