Description
The coastal clampery also known as (Clampfora acanthias) is a member of the Clampfora group of jaw-less fish is identifiable by two large teeth that help them hold on large animals. They feed on pretty much any large animal except for the giant island turtle and carrion. During the breeding season the female will lay 2000-3000 eggs. After the female lays all the eggs the males will rush to fertilize the eggs. The clampreys will protect the eggs and intern protect the giant island turtle this is a good example of a mutualistic relationship. There is a rare mutation that happens in 1% of the young where an individual will have a ring of teeth which is incredibly disadvantageous as it causes the animal to not be able to swim properly. There is a individual in the London Zoo named Grabby with this mutation. The coastal clamperys conservation status is endangered as the giant island turtles that the female's lay there eggs are often killed by boat propellers.
