Killer Clam!!


Anyone seen this before, My favorite Occi Clown must have gotten a bit too curious about my clam. Poor guy didn't make it, the clam is still healthy though.

gosh, i still feel really bad for the fish!

i guess it was a fast way to go, i hope.

i think it was pearl divers i heard this happened to sometimes. they'd set a hand or foot down in the wrong spot and that was it. dangerous life.

A co-worker mentioned that his childhood friend had his kneecap crushed by a giant clam on a scuba dive in his college days. 20+ years later he had the leg removed due to continuous pain and circulation problems...
