wow....do you think you could set up a video camera? this has to be one of the funniest things I've ever heard of. I do know that some clams in the ocean move by opening and closing to propel themselves sometimes, but other than that I've never heard of them jumping out of the tank.

My weird Hitchiker clam ( dont know what it is) decided to take up residance along the inside top rim of my tank in the back behind the overflow box. but Everynight he appears out of noware right smack in the front of my tank. Never actullay see it move. But its almost out of the water. then it goes back behind the box in the morning.
