did the store staff have to cut the clams to get them out of the tank?.....possibly damaged it?

store had all the unattached clam on snail shell substrate. unless damage was from the farm. 2 other clam i got from the same store(same shipment) are doing fine.

Same thing happened to me last week got 2 clam in Edmonton and one is doing great while the other came out of the bag that was full of little bug and did not make it out of my acclimation set up because it died. Don't know what the bugs where but they looked like flat worms. PMed the store and have not got a reply as of yet.
