Clam!?

3 week old 10g. Just found this little guy today. I thought it was just a small rock from a distance until I really looked closer. What is it? Keep in tank?

Really!? I have an 8 month old 29g upstairs. Should I toss him in there?

 

[Adam113]

Also, do I need to acclimate it if I put in my 29g?

Yes. Excellent.
Good luck too. He may be worse for wear form the new tank stuff
But fingers crossed.

And yea I would acclimate. Just a cup 30 40 min and just over double the water volume.

And we're off! I hope he's okay. He just ventured out of the rock recently. I hadn't seen him until today.

Think anybody in my tank will hurt it/eat it? Clowns, diamond goby, emerald crabs, hermits, snails, and a firefish.

Posibly the crabs. But don't sweat it. We can only do what we can do. And as you noticed it swims well.

Where should I place him? Just in the sand bed somewhere?

Yea pretty much try to stay away from what you may know as a crab zone. Perfhqps a nook in a rock.
The scallop will swim if it's still healthy.

I dropped him in the back corner near my firefish as nobody seems to mess with his area I'll see if he has moved in the morning. Haven't seen him swim yet in the small tank either, just noticed him in the sand.

 

[Adam113]

He hadn't moved as of 7 am

I had a bunch of these hitchhike from one vendor at a fresh swap. They have never moved from the day they came home. 2 were I a zoa colony. The colony died off I couldn't even remove them from the rock. They were so anchored I didn't bother cutting then off

dang you autocorrect *frag swap
