Ctenoides [Ctenoides]

Description
Ctenoides is recognized for its species that have a distinctive shell morphology, featuring scaly or spiny projections that give them a unique texture. These marine bivalves are often found in rocky or coral reef habitats, where they can nestle within crevices for protection. The mantle of Ctenoides species is highly iridescent, and some species are known for their ability to produce light, a phenomenon known as bioluminescence.
