soft-shell clam

This variety of clam actually has a thin, brittle shell. The soft-shell clam can't completely close its shell because of a long neck (or siphon) that extends beyond its edge. This long extension is why the soft-shell is also referred to as a long-neck clam. There are several types of soft-shells but the most prevalent are the steamer, razor and geoduck clam. See also clam.
