    I'm not sure what the peach colored sponge is attached to, but this oyster-looking shell is one of 4 that hitchhiked on my LR and they are all living (they constantly open/close/raise/lower)...what are these 2 shells in the top/right of the pic?

    I don't have a pic of the 4th (largest) but its covered in a bunch of dead sps from the ocean anyway so it can't be seen....I only see it open and close shut under all of the dead hard coral.
