Clams moving!

[MrGone]

I'm still new to keeping clams but I found this pretty exciting. I know that in the ocean they live in huge groups, I have a 5x12" tile 1/4" below the substrate. I had them spaced 3-4" apart in a line so they covered about 8-9" total. Over the course of a week they moved closer together, maintaining a parallel line, then between last night and this afternoon they made this triangle shape.

I've had clams move, a lot of times. With my luck, the way it goes, they usually end up attaching to a coral, usually a Zoanthid colony. I gotta say, what you ended up with, is much better! That's really cool! Great photograph, as well!!

LOl...underwater cancan...LOL

Mine squamosa would turn himself around and my husband would accuse me of turning it. He didnt believe that it was doing it itself until he saw it move itself one day.

You've got a cool trio there. Great pic too.
