The giant clams belong to the genera Tridacna and Hippopus (Rosewater, 1965, 1982; Yonge, 1980) in the family Tridacnidae. Less well known clams harboring zooxanthellae belong to the genera Corculum (Kawaguti, 1950) and Fragum (Kawaguti, 1983a; Ohno et al., 1995) in the family Cardiidae.

Giant clams, bivalve molluscs in the family Tridacnidae, harbor symbiotic zooxanthellae in the zooxanthellal tube, which arises from the stomach (Norton et al., 1992).

Mytilidae and Pteriidae have a wide and strong association with some corals (as Stylophora pistillata; Porites solida; Pocillopora verrucosa; Favites abdita; Favites fluxuosa; anal Goniastrea pictinata; Acropora pharonis; Montipora venosa; Acropora humilis, Anacropora spinosa and Montipora spongiosa), whereas Pectinidae, Arcidae, and Tridacnidae have a low coral association.
