Clammy - A clam story

[EmilyB]

I bought an ultragrade maxima in Vancouver a while back, and it was one of the only clams to attach immediately on a rock. Normally, my clams settle on the sand bed and attach to a cheerio or something....(long story).
I only have seven clams now because AJ steeled one. :razz:

Anyway, the loss of a ballast some time ago has left a third of my tank in darkness, and my biggest concern was this little fellow who was firmly attached in such a way I couldn't easily cut the byssal threads.

He's been getting browner and today I noticed he wasn't there :eek: Low and behold he was on his way to the light, but not in a bad way. He was in the sandbed in the light. :biggrin: :cool:

Packed his bags and headed for greener pastures eh? :razz: Cool! :mrgreen:

That is too funny: "Oh not THAT one - we'd never get it off the rock!!"
Turns out it's the smart one. :mrgreen:

is his name Forrest?
