I purchased a leather coral today and as I was watching it while it was sitting during the drip phase before adding it to the tank. I moved the coral to just observe my purchased and there was a small clam. It looks like a pecan so not sure what to do with the guy, what they need are they reef safe. I am working on pics. Whats your thoughts and ideas?


Thanks,

Jamie
 
Yes clams are reef safe but are you sure it's not a barnacle likes these

The those are common hitchhikers. Some times they may even be alive. If it is then once in a while you'll see it open. it's pretty cool.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE FISH TO MAKING A REEF TANK FEEL COMPLETE?

  • Essential! A reef needs fish movement and personality

    Votes: 27 64.3%

  • Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

    Votes: 5 11.9%

  • Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

    Votes: 2 4.8%

  • I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

    Votes: 6 14.3%

  • I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)

  • Well...it's complicated... (answer in the comments)
