This is a rare video clip of such an elusive clam. Nice one. We started working on Teredo and by luck found one in the process of burrowing and already a mm into the wood. See it in myposeidonsciences on youtube as well. Perhaps someone can find a larger one in more advanced burrowing stage. It will make a good series of videos to illustrate the tunneling process. Many thanks for a great view of the settlement.
my son is learning about mollusks in school and this was the animal he studies today. He really liked being able to see the different things he learned (siphons, the foot', etc..)
Good video. How did you collect the larva? Anything special? You can compress the movie into a time lapse with the image ready program from adobe .Good job mate.

It´s pretty good, but I want to see how it digs a hole in to the wood... that would be amazing!
