The word clam in the Maldives is often associated with the Giant Clam, or their ornately designed shells, which are locally known as rin’dheli. There is however, a little known member of the clam family that makes its home in the Maldives – The Iridescent Clam. These little bivalves are often hidden in and amongst the rich coral gardens. Here’s to hoping that you spend your new year as happy as a clam.
