Clown in my clam!

[Krazy]

Well the clown has been hosting the clam almost since day 1, today was the first day I've seen the clown enter the clam, I've seen my neon goby do it but could never catch a picture in time.

Today I got the clown in the clam...

I did enjoy it.

Was just kidding about the hi-jack. (although it did go on, lol)

I think its krazy u have that many clowns in your clam.

My gigas is about a ft or so as well.

What I wonder is if she'll ever let my other perc in, lol

[bigfun]

Wow, that's weird! But hey, if it ain't broke don't fix it!!

[Krazy]

ok I caught it on video.

enjoy!

I cant believe that doesnt bother the clam.

[andygb54303]

i second that, I hope it doesnt hurt the clam

[guppy0210]

Im seeing things!!! or there is a clown fish in that clam?!!!!

[SOULEMAN]

i think that is totally awesome, as for hurting the clam i dont think it really bothers him at all. If it was to even bother him or if the clam felt threatened he would automatically slam shut and push him out or at least try to.

[PiXieCath]

Wow! Amazing!:-)

[SuperNerd]

Holy smokes that looks dangerous! What if the clam gets some sort of gag reflex and never opens up again??

[vetdog]

cool stuff

[Reefman79]

Sweet !!!

[Krazy]

Update :

The clown and the clam are still doing excellent. Time to time when the clown just wont leave the clam alone, it will spit/shoot him out and the clown will wonder in a daze for a min or two, then back to the clam it is, the clam is very tolerant of this clown, that is for sure! and when the big gigas closes its door for the clown, I see him lay in the middle of my smaller gigas. Quite the show when I sit in front of the tank to relax...

[Reef Mongoose]

thats awesome dude

[parkpark]

ha ha, 'gag reflex' hilarious

[ooja3k]

pretty cool.

there was a thread floating around on here somewhere where a guy found his clown smashed in the closed shell of his clam... like the clown was irritating the clam and it shut on the clowns head... so sad...

[Chris Lakies]

Thats cool.........yet disturbing! LOL

[skinz78]

That was my clown and clam, the clown had it coming. It was picking on the clam.

So sad..

[CrossHatchQueen]

thats terrible. to bad for the 2 of them.

[mariner2005]

I wonder if the clam ever shot the clown out when no one was lookin like a clown in a clam cannon:rollface:

[joebecker]

That is crazy! I'd send those pics to National Geographic! ;)

It gets shot out time to time when its acting "excessive" to the clam.

Its starting to pair up with a very small clown I added over a year ago. So this is a good thing, its still in the clam but "not as much" she's still not sharing the clam, LOL

[Krazy]

Updated picture of the two gigas clams...

[Newreeflady]

Dude, those pix are fantastic! I have never seen such a thing. I've heard of fatalities, but never a clam that lived literally INSIDE of a clam! Wowza!!!

[InsaneClownFish]

Those pictures are great.

[Coralfrenzy]

Thats is awsome. Sorry to hear about the other clown and clam.

[moo0o]

dude, that must look so cool when you are looking at your tank haha.

[Krazy]

What would one expect to buy this clam/clown for if given the chance?

[Rysam]

A million spacebucks.

i dont know how much, but the pics are cool!
