giant marine bivalve mollusks of the genus Tridacna, inhabiting Indo Pacific coral reefs

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Divers marveled at the massive colourful tridacnas embedded along the vibrant coral reef wall. Marine conservationists protect endangered giant tridacnas from illegal harvesting in tropical shallow waters. These magnificent tridacnas can grow over a meter wide and weigh hundreds of kilograms. Photosynthetic algae living symbiotically inside tridacnas provide essential nutrients to the giant clams. Research surveys monitored population densities of wild tridacnas across protected marine sanctuary zones.
