what type of clam is this???
i bought 35 pounds of live rock today from a local guy that sells a lot of it from established tanks. it came with a lot of hich hikers, like hermits, snails, brittle stars, some worms, a bunch of small corals and this green clam that i thought was dead but i set it on a rock and a couple hours later if started opening, then flipped itself off the rock. so i picked it up snapped some pics and tried to search for it. being new to the hobby i have no clue what it is or how to care for it.
