thanks nakazoru, I read they chemically disolve the lime stone and attach that way. I take it thats what you meant by etch. I was unsure as to whether they also had a foot physically capable of boring into the rock, thus my concern with glass. :rolleyes: john

I thought I could recommending humour appreciation classes for your clams if they were boring... :P Just kidding!

Don't worry, they won't be able to dissolve glass. Their acid can dissolve calcium carbonate only. If necessary, the bysal threads can be cut from the glass without damaging the foot.
