    Found this little guy swimming around in Port Antonio. It's pretty funny to watch him opening and closing.. reminds me of a dog chasing it's tail. Don't really know what they call it. If anyone knows, feel free to post the name. 8)

    All scallops swim :) I'm not sure what that particular species is called but be prepared to feed phytoplankton to keep it alive.
