Scientific name: ''Ostrum mandimuscae/Lapis regrettabilis (Pikmin Player's Guide)''

The Pearly Clamclamp is an enemy in {{p1}} and {{p4}}. This large bivalve has a pinkish shell, and inside, a small pearl or item surrounded by a clear blue membrane. Their inner weak point can be attacked by Pikmin.

== Naming ==
The family name is a combination of "snare", meaning to lure to bait for capture, and shell. This perfectly describes the Pearly Clamclamp's behavior.

The genus ''Ostrum'' seem to be based on the latin word for oyster, ostreum. [[Canon#Debatable_canon|Unofficially]], the genus ''Lapis'' was used for the family in the {{p1}} Player's Guide, which is Latin for "stone".

== Trivia ==
* The family may have been intended to be named the Ploister family in {{p1}}, as this is the technical name of the Pearly Clampclamp in the ''Pikmin'' Player's Guide. These technical names often incorporate the name of the family the creature belongs to.
