Crenella [Crenella]

Description

Crenella is a genus of small, often white or light-colored bivalve mollusks. These clams are typically found embedded in sand or gravel substrates in shallow to deep marine environments. Representatives of Crenella are characterized by their oval or rounded shells with radiating ribs or crenulations, giving them a distinctive texture. They are known to inhabit a variety of marine habitats, from coastal areas to the deep sea, and some species are capable of forming symbiotic relationships with other marine organisms.
