Leptonidae
Leptonidae is a family of bivalve molluscs belonging to the order Galeommatoidea. These small clams are often found in association with other marine invertebrates, such as sea anemones, corals, and echinoderms. The relationship between leptonids and their hosts can vary, with some species exhibiting commensalism, where the clam benefits without harming the host, and others displaying parasitism.
Members of the Leptonidae family are typically small, with shells rarely exceeding a few millimeters in length.
Reproduction in Leptonidae is diverse, with some species being hermaphroditic and others having separate sexes. The
