i'm looking for a good deal on: clams and lobo brains

[lilleahseafreak]

just wondering if any one knows of any stores selling rusty orange lobo brains for $40 or less that are not itty bitty...(fish planet had some nice ones but they were too small for me to justify $40 on them...)

and does any one know if any place besides the coral reef shop is having a sale on clams. i just got one from TCRS for $28 and i'm hooked now its not even a fancy one, its just got some bright blue here and there and i'm loving him.

By the way, do clams move themselves? i wanted the clam to be in this nook in the rocks but every morning i would find it in the sand below, and this morning i moved him back onto the rock and a few minutes later i came back in the rook and he was in the sand again. so i left him in the sand (upright though). i don't think the current pushed him off the rock and no one in the tank is big enough to knock it off. so did it move cause it did not like the place i put it?
if this guy is still alive and thriving in a few months then i'm gonna consider splurging for a more colorful one

Lilleah,

I picked up an awesome orange/yellow lobo from Aqualife a month back. They get them in from time to time and it was definitely good size (like 4"+). It was $60, but very nice and good size.

As for the clams, I do not think clams do not move in the traditional sense like an anemone would. They do however use the force of closing their shells really fast to exert a backward motion and lodge themselves in a rock or dig into a sand bed (depending on the specie). Because they also open and close due to external stimuli, a fish or something could have caused a sudden movement that knocked it off the rock perch too.
