Dendrostrea crenulifera (Sowerby, 1871) View in CoL
Habitat. Attached to coral rubble and limestone rocks, sublittoral.
Distribution. Throughout the lagoon but abundant off Port Sud-Est, Ile Hermitage and Ile Gombrani.
Remarks. Small strong-shelled oysters with small but distinct marginal plications can be assigned to either Alectryonella or Dendrostrea . The pattern of chomata is variable and this group of oysters needs further work to resolve the actual number of species present.
Range. Indo-Pacific [S/M].
Figured specimen. Valve 30.8 mm, NMW.Z.1999.073.00017.
