Slimy stuff on my zoa's

[Bdrizzle]

Anyone have any idea what this is? Also I didn't realise it when I bought them but they are covering up a clam or 3. There is a front and side view. Please help.

Maybe a better pic?

Does it move at all? The white thing at the top almost looks like a nudibranch of some kind!

I suspect that the clams may be dead? It would take a long time for those zoas to cover a clam that completely.

It doesn't move, it's attached to the zoas. I've seen the clam open and close when the peppermint shrimp walk on it. I'll try to get a better pic when the lights come on.

Very cool that the clam is still alive!

Yeah I just got those zoas this week and when I bought them I didn't realise there were multiple clams under them. I know there's at least 2 clams.

Ok here's some with and without the flash on.

Here's the full tank setup right now too. Still a new tank.

These are literally the best shots I can get.
