Photo of Animalia: Hooded Rock Oyster (species: Saccostrea scyphophilla) (Lizard Island Field Guide)

Saccostrea scyphophilla form a thick upper band on a granite rock, Lizard Island lagoon. A narrow band of the paler, more cup-shaped Chama sp. is near the bottom of the same rock (oysters at bottom right of photo are on a different, closer rock).
