Clam thingy hitchhiker

[rogueangel]

OMG I just randomly looked at my tank (nothing in there just a bunch of rocks) and I notice the oddest thing. I had little clam thingys on the LR when I got it and now two of them have some how gotten on to my big piece of base rock? The rocks aren't touching and one of them is somehow under an overhang so they couldn't of fell off Lr when I moved it? How'd it get there and will they be ok from the fish flakes I feed the lr everyday. Sorry for actin so crazy over silly clams but its so odd and one of those dude there's actually something now to watch other than rocks. :cheer: Any advice?

here is a link to help id the clam, I don't think there is anything to worry about, if you are cycling they may die off, but then again they may not!

I don't have any pics of them yet... kinda hard to cause of where they're at. I'll try again tomorrow and see if maybe I can get a good pic.

Sounds to me like you are describing mussel shells when you refer to creeks. Do some research on mussels & see if that isn't what you are meaning.

it might be mussels actually. Thanks for the id. Are they ok to have? I'm just doing a FOWLR.
