We get it Lance...massive organ you got there. I was trying to snack here when that was sorta forced upon me with the zoom action.

Also... NICE VIDS.

Yeah he's a big one Darren. It moved 6" while I was on vacation and stung the crap out of my large Pocci colony. The thing hasn't moved in 6 months and decides to while I'm away. Grrrr!

Why would a Squamosa taste better than a Crocea?
The Crocea has been in the tank for 2 years and the fish have shown no interest in it. Put a Squammy in and they are all over it. Foxface, Juvi Chocolate Tang and Coral Beauty are all taking turns pecking at it. Poor clam is shut more than closed. Time to get out the strawberry basket, except I couldn't find it and had to make a cage out of egg crate. Stupid fish! Grrrrr!

Is he new? I think new clams are just stressed from the move and stressed clams smell like food apparently. I've had this happen with new clams that the fish were all over it for the first day but it got all better afterwards. If they are really picking at it yeah put the basket over top so that they can't but after a day or two it should just be "yet another clam, same as the others" to them.

Well.......... yes and no Tony. It is a new clam, but it was placed in the tank on March 5th. The fish just started on it last night. The basket is going on for a few days and we'll see what happens.
