My clam is spawning
 

I came home today and noticed that my aquarium water looks cloudy. I looked to see what was going on and saw this. My clam was spawning.

Happy clam... too happy :wink:

Time for a w/c.

Been there, done that. I was clam-sitting for someone and when they didn't set up their new tank in time (as they had promised), their clams decided to do a mass spawning in my reef tank. House smelled like low tide at the wharf, water was so cloudy you couldn't see to the back pane, and fish & corals were completely unhappy. Skimmer overflowed and lost all my sps and most of my lps to the spawning event. So yeah, do some major water changes to get your water quality back up to par or you'll be sorry.

that's exactly how my tank crashed a few months ago. now i only keep one clam.

Dang! I have 2 clams. I'm changing water now.

They will often do that when they are stressed and near death as a last ditch effort to save their genetics. Hopefully thats not the case for you.

If you have multiple clams, if one decides to spawn, they all get in on the action. = Stinky, cloudy tank!!!

you are right. clam is dead. I had it for about 3 years. I wonder what went wrong. It seemed happy.

Could have been from the heat, if your house has been warmer than usual lately.
