Mussel - Mytilus sp. This is the largest mussel I&#039;ve ever seen. It was approximately 13 cm long! The periostracum was brownish and shaggy. Flesh was reddish. It was adhered to rocks in the low tide zone. Maybe it isn&#039;t a mussel? If it is, I think it&#039;s either Mytilius edulis or Modiolus modiolus. <br /> <br /> Habitat: Intertidal - low tide zone<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/136284/mussel_-_mytilus_sp.html" title="Mussel - Mytilus sp."><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/136284_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=XkGAHrU1%2B6NCSxrQmlIpc8tynEI%3D" width="126" height="152" alt="Mussel - Mytilus sp.
