Clam Sponge?
I just got a Crocea Clam (my first) yesterday. With so many beautiful specimens at the store, I found it hard to pick one that I liked. Finally, I settled on one, mostly because of its beautiful orange parts of it’s shell. It has bright orange sections with holes in the orange. After rereading the NMA reef book section on clams on WWM, I saw a part that talked about boring sponges. I never really heard about these while doing my research on clams. I think it may be a boring sponge on my clam and it covers quite a bit of the shell. I read that if left alone, it can kill the clam. My question is am I able to get rid of the sponge and how dangerous is it?
