Clam can climb

Interesting sight. My Derasa clam decides to attach to a Cerith snail during the night. Later the Cerith climbs the glass taking the clam with it on its back. That's one strong snail.

Bizzare!

How is the clam attached? I didn't know it had any grabbing ability with it's mantle?

That certainly is a candidate for a photo contest!

Wow...that clam must be an Olympic athlete!

I have had a maxima clam that climbed up the corner of my tank...but I've never seen this

That is one tuff snail.
That claim must be ten times his body weight.
Must be in good Shape

From what I saw, it wasn't the mantle but a couple of thin white strands that were attached from the clam to the shell of the snail.

Snail does it again. Clam attaches to snail and then goes for a ride.
