Study on the Individual Coloring Mechanism of Iridescent Cells in the Mantle of the Boring Giant Clam, Tridacna crocea

Giant clams are marine bivalves that inhabit Indo-Pacific coral reefs. The boring giant clam, Tridacna crocea, exhibits bright and conspicuous mantle coloration based on the specialized cells (iridocytes) that generate structural colors.
