Fool's Mussels [Adipicola]

Description
Adipicola encompasses a range of small, often overlooked mussels within the Mytilidae family. These bivalves are distinguished by their simple, elongated shapes and modest size. They typically inhabit marine environments associated with decomposing organic matter, such as whale falls, and are key players in nutrient cycling in these unique ecosystems.
