So today at lunch I was looking in the tank just checking things out and something in my clams mouth caught my eye , i was kinda puzzled and then I seen it move , kinda clear and ghost like with little pinchers ? WTF !!!! Kinda blown away I have had the clam for a year and a half now and it's been very healthy so I was pretty amazed and a little concerned to find this thing any way after a bunch of peering and my ninja like google skills what I have found is its a little commensal shrimp http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/f6/tridacnid-commensal-shrimp-pics-inside-116617-2.html it's exactly like the one pictured here and lives inside the clam , really neat find I am amazed this guy has remained hidden for so long
