    Snails attached to clam

    I am moving some of my rock work around, and need to move my Deresa in the process. I didn’t realize until I picked it up but there are three snails attached to its base.

    Hello! I'm a new clam dad and I recently picked up this Derasa clam about 3 days ago. I love this thing to pieces but I noticed its Incurrent Siphon has been gaping the past two days... I've been watching it like a hawk to make sure it didn't show any other signs of unhappiness but I can't...
