Clam

[blood_hound]

Ok I have a stupid question I have my very first clam. First I have place it in the sand under a multiple T5 lighting. And this morning I decided tomove it on top of a rock to get more light the I notice this white fleshy thing growing under the shell What could it be?



And I think all the bristle worms in my tank move under it or near it

Don't rip it off, you can kill a clam this way.

It doesn't want to be on the rock, if so. Please pm if this is the clam we are talking about.
