No actually you read my post right, it did fall off. It's laying on the gravel 6" below the clam.

Here are a couple pics.

Note, the clam is usually open much more then in the pic, the camera spooked him.

It is weird, the clam seems fine, opens up nice everyday.

He is attached so I guess I won't worry about it for now.

Thanks for your help.

I wonder if that's just a piece of rubble that may have been attached to the byssal threads - and it's just let go of it now that it's attached to something "better" (your rock). Otherwise, if that's a part of the clam itself, I too have no idea what it is...

Hmmm, good point. That might be exactly what it is. Thanks.

Good one Tony, looking at the pic it certainly fits!
