So I was looking at my maxima today and there was a white organ coming out of its mouth moving around, like it was searching for something (I know it's not a tongue Lol).. I was kina freaked out when I saw that because I've never seen anything like it on my crocea and can't find anything on Google.

 

What is it and is it a good/bad sign of anything?

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Garrett

I believe you saw the clams foot.
:huh: coming OUT of its mouth? The foot is under the shell, this was like a big tube shaped organ coming out of its mouth and searching around..

 

Basically looked like a white version of the exit siphon

I was hoping you'd chime in. Yes, exactly like that. Does it mean anything? It's hard to find any info on it, and I was getting some dirty photos trying to find it..

 

Nope. Has no meaning whatsoever. THis also happened to MeanGreenEyes ( i think it was her). Mine looks like it swallowed a tiny shark. LMAO.vm0f.jpg

Actually i spoke to soon when I said it has no meaning whatsoever. These clams lived for months afterwards, so there was certainly nothing wrong with them, but I do believe it to be environmental because it would always happen to two of my clams at the same time.

My little Black/White Maxima just did this about an hour after I moved the container he was in a couple inches.

 

Also wondering if I should be worried about the little bit of mantle that is somewhat retracted. Been like that for a few days.
