should have gotten a pic of the worms, there are alot of types of bristle worms some are harmless and have been found with bellies of algae some have been seen killing fish........if your clam is in the sand it wouldnt be surprising to pull a clam out and find some bristle worms as they are nocturnal and hide in the sand and rock throughout the day

is anyone watching these clams through out the night and early morning??
i also find it hard to believe that everyone is having bristle morn hunger attacks at the same time on the same species when they have alot of extra food around anyways.
has anyone been having clam troubles before winter???
