need a pic for this. could be nothing or it could be gaping.

gaping can be a bad sign. usually means not enough light.

it does look a little gapping, but you have good mantle extension. is it firmly attached to the LR? can you take a peak at it byssal opening?

Wish i had a camera to take a better picture, when i went looking at them there were three the same size differently priced and that didn't make since, but when viewing them from above i could tell the price difference, the one that looked more colorful was pricier

I got this one for $65 good or bad?
