Look For Snails
 

Scott, take it out and look for/clean any pyram (I think they're called) snails.

pyramid snails are evil, evil buggers.

I saw someone had a thread last month I think, where they used Velcro to hold the bottom of the clam together....

theres no snails on it only an astrea star and the hing isnt broken but the musle that opens and closes it is gone

look really closely, especially in the evening,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I couldn't see them but my wife found them when she pulled ours out, found/removed lots

will take a look at night but i do fw dips on clams befor i add them to the tanklol

We lost 2 of them (from Langley) the same way & still bought a 3rd from there at their boxing day sale. Fortunately we have been able to save this one, looking for those snails. I hope you can still save it.
