Velvet Wedge
Xolotrema denotatum
Adults live buried in soft marine sediment, often with only their siphons reaching the water above. They filter plankton and organic particles from seawater while staying concealed from predators. The smooth, velvety-looking shell can close tightly to protect the soft body inside.
