Date mussel (Lithophaga lithophaga), in a cut-away section of soft rock showing the crypt it has bored and lives in. Is considered a delicacy but extracting the shell from its rocks leads to desertification of the coast so in several countries collecting is restricted or illegal. Capo San Marco, Sicily, Italy. Mediterranean Sea. 06/06/2004
