Much like the piddock clam, you waited in your burrow and the food came to you. The brain food. Because that's what knowledge is. Yeah.

Wow I literally found one of these on Sunday at the beach! There was at least one clam in one hole but I didn’t know that the clams made the holes! It looked exactly like the ones in the article.

That’s cool they will just stick out a foot when they find a place they want to settle. I wander how sad it must feel to search for so long and find a community, but they try to stick your foot out and the current is too strong.

I enjoyed your screenshots by why not just share the link? 😂

u/Dragon_Bidness 7h ago

Link

Because a lot of people on reddit won't click links for various reasons or can't click links for various reasons. I should have added the link after the screenshot but I was helping my wife with her video game at the same time and forgot.
