Very ODD Sun Coral / Clam rock

90_berlin_joe · 07-10-2006, 05:14 PM

Purchased this sun coral about 3 month ago and have noticed some weird things about it, but thought nothing of it. Until Brandon (on 3reef) posted his pic of his and noticed that mine looked nothing like his. So i looked closer and it is very odd in fact complete ODD. Here is why the rock they are attached to opens like a clam and when i bump the rock it will close up. Here is a video of it moving.

Youtube nice site huh!
HERE is the link Clam Sun Coral

Sounds more like a valve or a oyster or whatever, I had a ricordea rock like that once, very small mantles that almost stay inside and are not real visible. Great find on a new animal in the tank
