Wow that was close!
Okay walk by the tank and lights are out but the light from my dining room lights it up a bit. I notice the carpet is all balled up you know how they look when they eat! First I start looking for fish. Okay there all there, whew. OMG my clam is gone! I reach in and yep the carpet has it. I pulled the clam out of the carpet and placed it back in the rockwork. He is starting to open but not much. Oh and you pic fanatics, no I didn't stop to take a pic. I am still trying to figure out how it got the clam loose. I didn't think they were that strong. I won't know till the clam opens all the way to see if it is harmed. If I hadn't of walked by I am sure the clam would be a gonner. Maybe one of the fish knocked him loose I don't know but the carpet has never done anything like this before. Plus he got fed this a.m.

Crazy! You have a clam eating carpet 
The clam could have "jumped" sometimes they do that.

Carpets!!!!! 
Mine completly wiped out all the fish in my tank, well except for the clowns . About $250 worth. So I added 5 chromis last month (since there cheap) and only one is left!
