I'll have a look at the regal, he didn't seem as interested as the scopas today. I think I'm also going to inquire about a babysitter today. I'm really worried about a couple of them that aren't opening. How are they getting their energy supply? Or for that matter, how are they getting enough water supply with being closed for a goodly portion of the day? I noticed also last night that one has a few pale spots on it, almost like its bleaching. I'm not sure if that is a sign of poor health or what but its almost like they're trying to tell me something.

Bloody clams! Why do you have to be so beautiful yet such a pain in my arse!!??
