What's growing on your clams shell?

[wakesetter]

here is a pic of a squamosa with mushrooms on one side and xenia on the other. Lets see some pics of coral growth on clam shells. I didn't put these there. They just grew on their own. This is actually an old pic. One side is covered with shrooms and the other is covered in xenia.

MIne are totally covered in little tube worms w/ red heads & hard shells. Pretty cool, no current pix though...

I had an aiptasia on my squamos, but a little Joe's Juice solved that.

Other than that he's very clean.

I have a little bit of some macro algae growing on the lower part of one of my crocea clams. Nothing that a little pruning every few weeks can't keep in check. Does not seem to bother the clam at all.

I have a green hairy mushroom growing on the side of my 8" derasa. Will submit pics later.

Tube snails, fan worms, plating coraline, macroalgae. The only white I see is brand new shell growth.

My 4" crocea has this blue sponge growing on his shell. I just haven't got the nerve to try to extricate it yet. I'm concerned that it may be secreting something that helps bore into rocks which may degrade the shell, but think it looks pretty and don't want to kill the sponge. I think that whetever it is doing to the clam is making the crocea shell look like a maxima shell with raised scutes, so it can't be completely benign. I may give it a shot this weekend, trying to save at least a bit of the blue sponge for my LR.
