Umm...So I went to clean my skimmer sponge(outlet) the other day and noticed 2 or 3 small white clams. Does this mean something? Should I fix something? Or am I ok? They are white and about 1/4" wide. Tank is a almost 2 months old.

Ok I didI don't see any problems with that. I would drop them back into the tank. It's an issue I wish I had.
Well, the clam I saw today was floating and closed. Does that mean anything?I don't see any problems with that. I would drop them back into the tank. It's an issue I wish I had.
Possible, but I can smell clam in the water. Had to remove carbon for meds.Sure looks like a little clam..
Could be from the sand? I have seen little clams like that in my dry sand. Maybe it's in the sand mix and they are just getting kicked up and into the flow and getting blown around?
I think that is just the smell of salt water tank with animals in it. Kind of clammy.. kind of Ode Da Bay at low tidePossible, but I can smell clam in the water. Had to remove carbon for meds.
Sry, I disagree. It is mirrored on bottom. Don't think it's a snail but thanks for input.Limpets
Yeah maybe, haven't seen any for 2 months, which seems unlikely that it's from the sand, but it's definitely something to consider as an answer.Sure looks like a little clam..
