Raeta [Raeta]

Description

Raeta is a genus within the Mactridae family, characterized by its distinctively elongated, triangular shells. These bivalves are found in sandy substrates in marine environments, where they burrow and live infaunally. Raeta species are distinguished by their strong, thick shells, which often have a smooth exterior and can display a variety of colors and patterns. They are adept at burrowing, which they achieve using their muscular foot, and they feed by filtering plankton and detritus from the water column.
