White sacks on my clam?


Hey guys a found these white sack looking thing on my clam a few days ago. I think their alive because when i poke them they get smaller and closer to the clam.

I don't know what they are and if their bad or not, if someone knows give me a heads up what to do.

Hmm, hard to say. Have you seen any pyramid snails on the clams? They're rather small, you do have to look for them.

Nope, no snails so far and i've been looking for them. I don't believe their egg sacks because they seem react to touch. I just don't want my clam to die. I'll keep looking for snails.

Yep, tunicates. They are perfectly harmless.
