Placunidae
Placunidae, also known as windowpane oysters, windowpane shells, and kapis shells, are a taxonomic family of saltwater clams, marine bivalve mollusks which are related to oysters and scallops. This family is best known for the shells of the species ''Placuna placenta'', which are translucent, and are commonly used in shellcraft production. In some cultures, they were used as a form of light-admitting window.〔("Fisheries and aquaculture of window-pane shells" ). Malacological Society of London. Retrieved on 2011-10-23.〕 The family is closely related to the Anomiidae (saddle oysters). One of the main differences is that the Placunidae do not attach themselves to a hard surface but are instead a mud-living family. ==Description== Placunidae are suspension feeders, living on shallow, muddy-bottomed waters. The usually lie with the right valve downwards. The ligament is internal and forms a shallow V-shape.
