Question Dead Sally
odd to find my sally lightfoot was dead this morning fully intact sitting beside my clam , yet yesterday it was cruising around the tank eating algae displaying nice color not having a problem. anyone have any ideas?

Are you sure it's dead and not just an exoskeleton?

If everything else still looks good i'd chalk it up to a "reef mystery", not much to go on otherwise.

Don't forget everything has a life span. It can die at any time... just like us... for no reason.

No way to know anything but what we can see with those buggers.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I bet he will spring up in a day or two. I had one that I thought was dead because I had a "body" then a day or two later he was there again. They shed their shell and It still looks in one piece..........crazy how they do that.

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

Unless you have a killer clam, they are sneaky you know, they lie around all the time luring their victems into a false sense of security...then they pounce....oh sorry was thinking of something else
