Clam Homocide!!!!!

[Sea-agg09]

Came home to this today!!!



Now I'm just deciding what I want to do with this snail...

A vat of acid seems too kind....

[Ca Nguyen]

wow, didn't think it is possible

[Darbex]

Are you sure the clam wasn't already dying? Snails usually go after decaying matter with a few exceptions.

[myjohnson]

What kind of sail is that?

I'm thinking the same thing Darbex thinking.

Bristle worms have the same reputation for eatting clams but they only go after ones already dead.

[soymilk]

clam was already dead I think. The whole bottom is missing. That looks like an astrea snail (usually just an algae eater)

[Sea-agg09]

The clam was perfectly healthy. Tektite on marshreef got the ID right. It was a murex snail. They feed almost exclusively on bivalves and other mullusks...

He's gone... and we'll just leave it at that.

What did you do with him freezer or some calcium powder

[Sea-agg09]

freezer, then I ran him over with my car...

freezer, then I ran him over with my car...

I like that sounds like a quick ending to a newsense

[Darbex]

That would be the exception.

that sux man. never heard of that type of snail before, im guessing you picked him up on the beach?

[myjohnson]

Yeah, that does suck.

that clam looks kind of big too. Must had been pricey.

The snail was given to me. The previous owner didn't know what it was, and neither did I. The clam was an 3.5 inch ORA Derasa clam. It wasn't cheap, but not the end of the world. I am more pissed at myself for not doing the research.

[myjohnson]

I'm scared of clams.

[Sea-agg09]

Really not that bad. I loved mine... while I had it.
