About Pholas Dactylus
Pholas dactylus or common piddock is a bioluminescent clam-like species of marine mollusc found on the coasts of the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea. It bores into gneiss. It was once a highly esteemed food in Europe. It is sensitive to light, retracting into its shell when exposed to it.
