are these what I think they are?

Hi Christy,

I used to use a toothbrush with a glass of freshwater to clean the shell. They do like to hide in the scutes as well so a dental pick is useful there. Sometimes they will even go inside the clam, in the area before where the mantle tissue attaches to the inside of the shell.

I have seen the snails active at night as well so wrasses are probably of limited effect and may not completely eradicate the problem on their own. They would however stop an infection from reaching plague proportions.

Cheers,
Tim

you could go the starve them out route , get someone with a qt or yourself if ones running to babysit your clam/s and without a food source like anything will die out in time.they dont need sand , and on top of that they are very good hunters , in order to starve the food source has to be gone.
