wrott · 06/10/2006, 03:13 PM

To what are you reffering--the black scum?

puffer21 · 06/10/2006, 03:18 PM

funman1 · 06/10/2006, 03:19 PM

umm I can't see anything but a black spot

puffer21 · 06/10/2006, 03:21 PM

look at it from above i see it.

wrott · 06/10/2006, 03:26 PM

Probably a tube worm---you must have them everywhere--no?

Paintbug · 06/10/2006, 03:31 PM

going to need a much better pic or atleast a description.

vanmo92 · 06/10/2006, 03:34 PM

From what i see it looks kinda like a skallop but w/o a better pic i cant tell yuo for sure.

t34418l3fit · 06/10/2006, 03:35 PM

i think it either looks like a worm crawling over a rock or some small clam/scallop type, thingy?

puffer21 · 06/10/2006, 03:42 PM

No it is the thing in the middle that opens and closes

puffer21 · 06/10/2006, 03:48 PM

Ok here is a better picture

mr pink floyd · 06/10/2006, 03:51 PM

i hvae those

dont touch them, trust me, i accidently touched one while moving a rock, got me like a bristleworm

hgbarwick · 06/10/2006, 03:51 PM

it looks like some type of scalope

Sk8r · 06/10/2006, 04:49 PM

A small bivalve of some description. A clam. It will eat phyto, if that's what it is.

puffer21 · 06/10/2006, 06:18 PM

can i touch it will it really hurt me?

bamsickle · 06/10/2006, 07:04 PM

Looks like a clam to me, too.

B

mr pink floyd · 06/10/2006, 08:55 PM

it opens up, it has curly things inside, it does sting if you touch the inside, i think thast what i touched

like a bristleworm, the spines are tiny, clear, dont feel them at first, when you rub horizontally, it KILLS

BTW what was that pic taken with?

in the first one all i see is a black screen

the second is the thing, with a white frame?

jman77 · 06/10/2006, 09:35 PM

Dude....were you doing some pink floyd chemicals when your saw it open and curly things come out ?????

Lpsfanatic338 · 06/10/2006, 10:21 PM

Looks like some sort of clam or bivalve. IMO i would just leave it

chrismunn · 06/10/2006, 10:25 PM

deffinatly smash it with a hammer! "SMASH" i say! no just kidding.

mr pink floyd · 06/10/2006, 10:26 PM

dude... no... well maybe

JK

it does open up, trust me, curly things dont come out, it loosk liek a curly wire inside of one that i have

puffer21 · 06/11/2006, 06:27 AM

It does open,.

LBCBJ · 06/11/2006, 09:05 AM

I have some of those on my rock, they're just some type of bivalve. Keep it, it won't hurt anything. Plus it means you may actually have "live" rock.

funman1 · 06/11/2006, 11:20 PM

Does it look something like this when it opens?

That's a flaming scallop in the pic

puffer21 · 06/12/2006, 01:03 PM
