Looks like a ---- movie on hallucinogens.

:yes: Bro, it looks like bryopsis. Roots were probably on the clam when you bought it, though not visible to you.
Do a search and get to the source of this problem quickly! This stuff can be a pain, and a big mess. This can turn a tank upside-down if not dealt with. I sure don't want to see that pretty clam die.
There are also natural predators for bryopsis. Once again, research.
Anyone agree? :needhelp:

BillB that's exactly what I need. A spongebob with a mower, would it live in the tank???lol
Tony that's some funny sh!t, you and paco thougth exactly what I did. Bad thing is my girlfriends the one that made me think of it. Her mind was deep in the gutter...lol
Spoon I had never heard of that before, but after doing a search on it, it said it was feathery like stuff? What I have really doesn't match the description, but i am glad of it that bryopsis seems like some bad crap!
I was wondering if it could be some kind of mechanism for catching pods of something? It really doesn't make much sense, but there are tons of pods, tiny worms etc in the algae, along with some bubble algae.
Feels kinda weird telling people "oh just getting done trimming the clams hair" (sounds little dirty)lol, but my gf got a kick out of it!!!
