I recently purchased a torch coral from my LFS and it has two cmystry type clams on the side of it that I'm having difficulty in identifying..

It kinda resembles a hippopus, I agree. It doesn' open far enough to really see the inferior the torch seems mostly unaffected by the relationship.. it is usually open in the flow most of the day.. I have watched whatever it is open and close at times so I know there has to be life in there.. its certsinly very odd and beautiful..

Any chance you can get a pic with white lights on or a flash? I am really interested in seeing it better.

And i like how you're excited that the torch seems unaffected. Im all backwards thinking "man, i hope that stupid torch doesnt hurt this clam, he should throw out that torch!" hahaha
 
Yeah I bought the torch on purpose. Haha.. the clams were not able ad far ad I thought infill I saw them close.. here are a ew better pics

It's just a none photosynthesis bivalve, If its need light to survive then later the torch will shade it to death.
 
Seriously ? Three on one coral?!?

Some of us may jealous. I won't say who we are.

Some? and not all of us? hehehehe :p
I do love it but I think the torch won't like it in my tank with my current flow setup, I gave a away my 10 heads torch cause of the flow :)
Lol. I've started asking the lfs how much. WITHOUT the coral. ;)
 
hahahaha I would buy it then frag the torch off to another rock LOL
My LFS do 30% off on live stock Black Friday, I'll get more clams. I hope they get some new clam shipment for the sale....
Pretty soon im gonna ask you to ship me some!! Itll still be cheaper than buying them from my LFS. Haha. Plus you'll pick me some beauties!!
