I read this great thread on RC and introduced my clam to some bondage Heres the link:

Really when you think about it, it seems quite obvious but I certainly wouldn't have thought of doing something like that. I was just resigned to turning the lights out and waking up to two half shells the next morning.

Instead I now I have this:


Everything appears normal but I'm too chicken to remove the string until the 2 weeks are up or the mantle protrudes between the shells more. And since we're on day 3 here, its got a ways to go. I can only hope this works!

Christy did your clam make it or have you untied it yet?

No a hermit crab knocked it over and had snacks on some vital innards I really had high hopes for that string method and I think it would have worked better if not for getting knocked over.

4 of the 5 hermits are now living in the sump. One more to catch. They're probably plotting how to destroy my pump impellers next
