Identification please

[LornaS]

Help with ID on my new clam addition....

Can anyone tell me why this frogspawn has a brown patch...

I'd suggest trying in the clam forum for the id there.

I've seen Euphyllia that do that, but I've never seen a reason.

The clam looks like an indigo crocea, thats what ours at work look similar to. But I could be mistaken.

Crocea clam. One of the most light demanding species as well.

It must be placed in the rock structure. Remove it from the sand bed, and place it high on the rocks, near the light.

Don't know why the frogspawn looks like that, but I would guess that it could have had a genetic mutation when that head split off.

I was thinking it looked like a "sport" on an apple tree, as a similar example of mutation. I think that's what a sport is, anyway.
