Lampshells

Lampshells are marine brachiopods that have two shells hinged at the back, resembling a clam. They are filter feeders that live in a variety of ocean habitats, from shallow waters to the deep sea. Lampshells have a unique feeding structure called a lophophore, which helps them capture food particles from the water. These organisms have been around for millions of years and play an important role in marine ecosystems.
