Characters
Main characters
Shelldon Clam (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain) is a young Yoka star shell who lives in a hotel called the Charming Clam Inn with his family. He likes helping his friends and solving problems.
Herman (voiced by Richard Ian Cox) is a blue hermit crab with an immense infatuation with "alien" artifacts and "paranormal" events. He has a crush on a classmate Hurly.
Connie Cowrie (voiced by Nicole Bouma) is a money cowry who works at the Charming Clam Inn, so she could do more than rely on her parents' money.
Recurring characters
Dr. Shell (voiced by Lee Tockar) is a brilliant yet scatter-brained riversnail inventor and a guest in the Charming Clam ever since it was set up and has become something of a permanent resident there. He has traveled widely across the seas in search of inspiration but is not interested in making money, only the social benefits his inventions bring to others.
Mama Clam (voiced by Ellen Kenndy) is a magnolia crocus clam who lives and runs the Charming Clam Inn with her husband and three children. She is a cool-headed wife and mother who is not easily daunted by hardship or challenges. Raised in the cut-throat, fast-paced Shell City, Mama Clam is savvy, a careful planner who always seems to know the perfect solution to a problem.
Papa Clam (voiced by Colin Murdock) is a muddy-brown crocus clam that lives in and runs the Charming Clam Inn with his wife and three kids. He is guileless, none too bright, and crass at times. He is easily frazzled by setbacks and his solutions to problems tend to border on the impractical.
Mr. Inkysquid (voiced by Scott McNeil) a small squid who is Shelldon's gang’s school teacher.
Mayor Yoka a Yoka star shell who is Shell Land's mayor.
Baft and Thwart a duo of greedy human scuba divers that don’t care what damage they do to the ocean or marine life.
Shello Polo a Mexican Yoka star shell who talks to Shelldon as a ghostly figure.
Mrs. Prim is a prissy crystal red shrimp who obsesses over her nails and hair, which causes her to forget about her peers.
Hurley is a pink sea snail that sometimes appears in the show. She has a crush on a classmate named Herman.
Production
The series is produced by Thai entertainment company Shellhut Entertainment, in co-production with Singaporean studio Tiny Island Productions for the first two seasons, Taiwanese studio AniTime and American studio Classic Media for season 1, and other Thai studios such as BeboydCG for season 1, Anya Animation Company and Lunchbox Studio Co., Ltd. for seasons 2 and 3, Animotif for season 2, and Kantana Animation Studios, Teapot Studio and Ad Hoc Animation and Ad for season 3. Voice casting for the series was handled by Giant Wave for the original version and Voice Box Productions in Canada for the English version. Distribution for the series was handled by French company Planet Nemo Animation in Europe, Canadian company DHX Media in North America and British company Entertainment Rights (season 1).
