Poor snail. Everyone rooting for him to die ASAP! Life will never be the same for him, always watching his 6.

The Jake picture made this 100 times better lol

So awesome!!

 

[Blitheran]

To be honest. I would just tell the snail his death is going to a better cause and break his shell apart to get the clams!!!

“Release the hermits!”

 

[vetteguy53081]

WOW

 

[erk]

How do you know they are maximas? Do you have a couple in the tank that have been spawning?

Sorry to rain on your parade, but while you may have clams on the snail shell, these are the non photosynthetic clams, not Tridacna clams. Your clam will slowly died in your tank because there are not enough particles in a normal reef tank to feed them.
Your pictures are not clear enough, but with a clearer picture, we all can see that these are not Tridacna clams.

May be the most valuable snail of all time

 

[reef lover]

Agreed. Def not maximas. Might be bivalves or slipper limpets...but not maximas...sorry.

So, was cleaning my tank yesterday and saw an Astrea snail that the shell looked totally WEIRD! Got a flashlight to get a better look, and HOLY CRUD! it has 2 baby maximas attached! They both reacted well to the light, (closing when shadowed), so hopefully I'll be able to get them put in a good spot when the snail finally dies.
Have any of you folks seen this before??

Dude! That's cool!

Jeez who brought the party poopers lol... either way cool score !!!

My last turbo snail lived over 8 years. And I have a few other types that I don't even remember when I got them.......So no matter what type of clams they are, they have a long ride ahead of them.

Right! I was rooting for this guy until the negative Nancy’s Came out

Party poopers!!!!!!. Pointing out the truth and you call us party poopers and negative Nancy.
Same thing happened quite a few years ago over at ReefCentral. Overthere people recommended that the OP kill the snail and attach his shell to a rock so he can keep his "hitch hiker Maxima" alive.
People, don't be so ........ Just because an animal is a bivalve, it does not automatically a Tridacnid clam. Just becasue you pick up a piece of metal of the street, don't assume it is gold and plan to buy a house with it.

 

[bsr2430]

This got heated ;Nailbiting
Probably should clam down.
