Description

Phacosoma comprises a group of marine bivalves in the Dosinidae family, recognized for their elongated, oval shells. These shells often have a glossy exterior with faint growth lines. Phacosoma species inhabit sandy and muddy bottoms, where they can be found at varying depths. They are filter feeders, contributing to the benthic ecosystem by sifting through the substrate to consume organic matter.
