In Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers
The Goliath Clamclamp is an enemy in Pikmin: Shipwrecked Stargazers. The of the oysnap family, its shell is smooth and blue and covered in green algae, and within its mantle is a dull pink foot holding a giant gleaming pearl encased in a watery membrane; a giant valve in its shell hides two long, worm-like tendrils that function as tongues.

The Goliath Clamclamp periodically opens and closes its shell every twenty seconds. It does not bother Pikmin, but if they try to attack the membrane concealing its pearl, its feeding tendrils slither from their valve. These tendrils try to coil around Pikmin within the oysnap's mantle and pull them within the valve, killing them. Worse still, if the Goliath Clamclamp's shell closes while Pikmin are attacking it, they are destined to become the bivalve's meal.

Taking the Goliath Clamclamp's pearl is done in the same way as a Pearly Clamclamp's own pearl, by attacking the membrane with Pikmin or leaders until it pops, sending the valuable pearl flying out. It continues to act normally even after the pearl is dislodged. Captains that are eaten will suffer damage and be ejected from the valve. If the shell is closed with a captain inside, it will reopen its shell to spit the captain out and reset its opening and closing cycle.
