Look what i found in the tub of my new LR curing. it appears to be a clam or maybe scallop!

hi.
Kewl! if you have a main tank up and running, you may want to put the clam in there if it is still alive.

just threw him in, i just thought about it, i should have probably acclimated him

he looks familiar. I got some cabbage coral that was attached to a "rock". well the rock turned out to be a clam just like that. They are a filter feeder. Mine is still going with his cabbage patch hat

Did you get that on Florida rock?

I have a ton of them on mine - they find a place on the rock they like then attach themselves with the mouth opening facing inward - then occasionally they rotate out (& slightly "open") to filter water.

yup, gulf-view rock!
