Timfish Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 No point in me playing the lottery anymore ! Found this baby clam in the sump of one of my tanks stuck to some eggcrate. Clam wasn't there 6 - 8 months ago and only inverts added in the last three years have been a GBTA 2 years ago and a couple of starfish three years ago. First two pictures are of the baby clam the third is of the parents. Parents showed up on some live rock about 10 years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timfish Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 I gotta wonder though how many I might have if the parents weren't actively filtering the larval out (along with the sponges and corals) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsea Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Tim, I am a big fan of diverse nutriant pathways. You have put the crowning touch on my thoughts with these clams that reproduced in your closed system. Jolly good show. La bonne temp roulee.

Timfish Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Woohoo! I was moving some stuff around and found another baby clam in this system. It looks to be a couple years old based on what I've seen with the others in this system over the last 12 years when the first two showed up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
