Thanks for the response think after reading up on Lie in Kings post I’m sticking with Oyster Crabs thanks again

[Lie-in King]

I can't find a suitable "oyster grass" reference, does anyone have one, please?

Just because that other site gives it doesn't make it correct.

I'm with LiK on this one.
The 'only' definition I can find for oyster grass is 'kelp, sea lettuce', whereas the link provided contains almost the same wording as the clue.

[fozzies]

I appreciate that but the reference to lives in the gills of Oysters/Clams (shellfish)is what is mentioned in the clue,I’ve looked up Oyster Grass and couldn’t find reference to this

[Captain2]

fozzies, we are agreeing with you!!!!

[fozzies]

[Lie-in King]
