Oysters
Family Ostreidae


Poached?! All that remains of this large oyster is the left half of its shell that is stuck firmly against the rock. It must have only recently been killed as encrusting creatures have yet to settle on the smooth inner layer of the oyster. This oyster was about 12cm long!
