What to do with my clam shell?

[Apon]

Well some of you know that I lost my giant squamosa clam, but I didn't have the heart to throw the shell away. So I am asking for suggestions on what to do with it. Its 7 inches tall and about 12 wide. Let me know what you think.

 

[teachermark]

Make some sort of cave out of it or glue corals to it.

 

[Raddogz]

Keep it. I have heard you can put a new clam into the shell (no wait...hear me out). When the new clam puts it's threads out it will attach to the new shell. You can move the clam around the tank without damaging it.

Set it into your rock work concave side up for a cool shelf. Then put some LPS or a bunch of zoo frags in there.

A shell has two halves..

although at 12 inches wide... YEOWZER!

 

[capescuba]

Ah - Duh. I guess that means mine haven't died yet But yeah, YEOWZER!

 

[GreshamH]

Um, sorry?

LOL, thanks Dave :lol:

 

[Mr. Ugly]

No, no... you have to use scallop shells for bras

[GreshamH]

Yah, giant clam shells are a bit odd shaped

 

[Apon]

any more thoughts, the shell is still one piece since I haven't seperated it yet. Its really large to put back in the tank, but I will keep it in mind.

(shell)ac it and put in on your desk!

Use the two halves as decorative pieces on your canopy or stand!

I'd put it back in and mount some GSP on it, or something that encrusts and then just let it become part of the rockwork.

There you go. Split the shells, mount on nice pieces of wood - bookends for your library of reef books

Yikes!

Norman, the shell is a squamosa clam shell, lots of shutes on it. Not as nice as a smooth clam or scallop shells...... : )
