I was given this from a friend who didn't know what it was. When I got it it was mostly white and has been turning brown. It is mounted on some type of oyster I think since it opens up and closes. What the hack are these two things? Bad or good? Thanks.

Definitely don't throw it away! It turning brown is a great sign, white is very unhealthy. Its beginning to recover.

The oyster is still alive? That is awesome! They are filter feeders. Clams and oysters clean the water column.

Yes it is still alive but I do not know if it's a clam or oyster it normally opens at night and early morning then remains closed thru the day. When I shine my light to see it inside it closes it shell quick so I don't know what it is.

Looks like a rock oyster and a big one. Slurp him down
