Gaping clam

[Ruth]

Oh that's sad. It had such beautiful colours too. I had a clam that died on me about a month ago. The funny thing was that it was injured about 4 months before that and just never fully opened or extended it's mantle. It did seem to be getting better and then BAM - dead. Other than that I have had good luck (knocks on hairy wooden head) with my clams.
