clam tag along...

[bergzy]

hello,

i just picked up two gold maxima's and noticed one of them had a yellow polyp intermixed with white spots.

i have never seen a polyp like this and thought it might be an anemone but it doesn't look like one. i have yellow and brown polyps and this one looks lighter in color than the regular yellows.

my question is: the tips of the polyp touches the mantle of the clam. is this causing any damage or irritation?

i noticed that he doesnt open up as much as the other guy.

any help would be appreciated!

take care!

do you have a picture? i have star polyps and they never bother my clams. aipstasia anemones on the other hand does seem to bother clams quite a bit.
