So our LFS had a 'rock' covered in mushrooms. After taking the rock out to take some mushrooms off the rock squirted water onto the employee..

So after a few more mushrooms off, ITS A CLAM!!

Responsive to light but oh my does it look bad..

Dosing phyto, reef roids and lots of light on it. Hoping it may just regrow the mantle.

Take you on a journey!

Really cool, thats a hitchhiking bivalve. Usually dont see them that big in the trade. Unlike tridacna they lack the colorful mantles were used to seeing but maybe yours will surprise us👍
Looking forward to updates
 
Still alive and opened up a little more !
