    Sorry I can't get a decent pic, my camera sucks.. Anyway I have a new sun coral I bought 2 days ago and noticed it has a small shell embedded in a hole, looks like a clam sitting straight up. But then it opens and closes quickly and in response to movement outside the tank. It also shoots out a small clear "lasso" that does a quick arc (looking for food I assume) and shoots back in. I've heard of something that does this but I don't know what it is? Is it ok in there or is it harmful?

    Thanks!
