Uh oh....clam troubles.
Hi all,
I arrived home after work and found my clam upside down on the sand. I flipped him back over and its recessing into the shell. It also looks like the foot has completely gone as I can see the glass right through its gaping mouth. I've attached a pic....give it to me straight can reefers. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/29/8yjysy2u.jpg Thanks, Dunc Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk |
If thats the tank bottom visable thru the mouth she's a goner, looks like the snails are moving in for a chow down.
Sorry but it happens.. Lost a ton of em thru the years |
Yeah that's the tank bottom. Do I just pluck it from the tank and leave it for the garbage man then?

Yeah at first I thought it was sand in the mouth but if it's foots gone the clam will be dead by morning
|
I have read that they are very toxic when they die. Is it best to remove it now?

One of my clams died as well, get it out. That's a lot of rotting meat in the tank.

If you want to save the shell for sentimental or artistic reasons; you can take it out and bathe it in a bleach solution overnight.
Sorry to hear about your clam. |
