have a look for pyramid snails arround the base of your clams ..these will wipe them out fast and are hard to see until it is to late.

Unless it wasn't actually a bristleworm...? Lots of worms that look similar, but aren't. Google "worm eating clam", and lots of stuff pops up.

I head read some threads on other sites before saying that bristle worms on a clams foot will actually stress them out enough to parish. Its a good idea to keep them on a base.
