Is this Normal?

Do clams extend this far over the shell? Just curious as I'm new to the clam thing!

is that a favites or favia right next to the clam? you might want to move the clam. the sweeper tentacles from those corals are pretty bad news.

great looking clam. mine does not extand like that! it does about half of that. i am new to the clam thing also.

Johnny what you see is normal, just keep an eye out though, if it starts to flap that mantel its going to take off quick.

Good observation Geoff. If that closed brain is the same as mine Johnny, it had wicked sweepers.
