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.
