Hitchhikers

[bhopwood]

I bought this clam two months ago and it seems to be doing well. It is 4X6 inches with Good color and mantel. It likes to move to get the morning light that comes thought the patio door so I gave up moving him. I have a 60 gal. Hex with a 175watt mh and110 w pc and feed with oyster eggs and DT’s but it has things living on it. Should I be removing these hitchhikers? On the last photo I know one thing is a worm it the other things that I not shore of.

wow kinda hard to tell from the pic,but it doesnt look bad look's kinda like some tube worm or something I have one similar with a worm growing on it,doesnt seem to hurt anything.Just make sure you have no pyramid snail's on him check his bottom good,I cant tell much from the first 2 pic's sorry.

the spiral tube is just a tube worm(feather duster) the second is a tunicate. neither will bother your Crocea.
