Several months ago I found this cute little rock that would fit in my palm. it was covered in brilliant red sponge, tons of feather dusters, tube worms, barnacles, and just overall a very lively little rock.
Here is a picture of it.
HOWEVER, today while I was using a turkey baster to blow detritus off a new rock I noticed something incredibly remarkable...
THE ROCK CLOSED!
Um, needless to say...for the past three months I've been under the impression it was simply a rock when *drum roll* it was actually a clam!
There were no indications of an opening of any sort, possibly greatly in disguise behind all the cool things atop it. The LSF charged me $10 for this "feather duster rock," which at the time I was kind of mad at myself for spending on a stupid, tiny rock. I could get some nice ample sized live rock for half of that amount. Overall, it was appealing and won me over. Now I'm thinking I got a better deal than the store would ever know haha.
Now I'm wondering if I should move him down on the sandbed, or what? He is lying on his side, and has been for the past several months. Should I set him upright like other clams?
Oh, boy.
Only in my tank, hahah!
