    Hi All,

    Just another hitchhiker I would like to have ID'd

    I have noticed it closes when I move in front of the tank, is it a clam or some kind of filter feeder.

    How would I care for it? It is currently in a pretty shaded area beneath my live rock.

    Thanks all

    Cheers
    Sandie
