    Pinched Mantle

    Now we have found some people that will help us with that but like any research, it takes money. So where are the people that I see on all the forums that have for years been complaning about this disease/parasite?? Ok, now I will get off my soap box. :)

    Quarantine for clams

    Again, if you tank is not deep then lighting should be fine for the time frame but again, acclimating to your other lights is a must or it will SHOCK you clams. Remember, they don't always have bright sunny day in the Indo Pacific. :)

    Quarantine for clams

    Even though we quarantine them, you should also do that prior to placing in your display tank. With your Q-tank being the size that it is, your lighting will be ok for that short of a time but be sure to acclimate them to you MH after placing them in the main tank.

    Pyramid snails only on Astreas?

    The pyram snail will suck the blood out and the clam will slowly show sign of being sluggish and it will take some time but will certainly die.

    Pyramid snails only on Astreas?

    Look for clear jelly like sacks in the sand or around the clams. These sacks will hatch several dozen sails. :cry: Any empty crab or Astrea shells, be sure to remove them from your tank as they will hide in them. six-line wrasse are good but I like the juvenile coris wrasse better. This is...

    Pyramid snails only on Astreas?

    Check around the byssal (footing) a few times a week and if you see any there, that is not good. :(

    How long before I can replace my clam

    Eric, Spawning is normally triggered by some sort of stress and then it can be a chain reaction after that.

    my new clam won't open

    Hi Joe, Do you have a picture of the clam? Clams like low to midium water flow. What kind of lights are you running?
