New Associations between the Scallop Pedum spondyloideum (Bivalvia, Pteriomorphia: Pectiniidae) and Scleractinian Corals from the Northeastern Coast of Borneo (Malaysia)

Animal Miraculum The nestling and facultatively boring pectinid bivalve Pedum spondyloideum (Gmelin, 1791) is an obligate associate of living scleractinian corals that occurs in the Indo-Pacific. It attaches byssally and lives embedded in the coral skeleton; it is usually completely surrounded by live tissue on the coral surface, but not inside the dwelling. Associations between P. spondyloideum and host corals are known from the northern Red Sea (Kleemann 199
