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....

Is your clam on the sand or a rock shelf, I had mine on a rock shelf and it was doing great for the longest time, I think something was attacking it from the bottom. I thinking Bristle worms but not sure, long story made short I lost it.

Its on the sand atm and sorry to hear that sucks

A lot of them that came out pet land seem to have died

[monocus]

I don't know that pet land carry saltwater

They are doing a refurb at the moment on their saltwater stuff. Although it seems like they have been doing it forever. They have a huge frag yank set up now but it doesn't have water in it yet.

They have sold salty stuff for about a year now I think.
