| Size: Size under dissecting microscope: 400-450µm Size under compound microscope: 400-450µm |
| Morphology: Bathymodiolus thermophilus have planktotrophic larvae. We find them in our plankton samples when they are close to settling. It is possible that we do not collect them as trochophores or D-stage larvae because they may be too small to be caught on our 63µm sieves. Near to settlement they are brownish in color. |

Bathymodiolus thermophilus is similar in color to juvenile Bathypecten, but is much smaller (< 450 µm vs. >1mm) and not scallop-shaped. |
