What kind of clam is that, Mike? And how long have you had it? I've been doing some reading on clamsdirect.com recently (as I've recently acquired my first clam), and have read that the "teardrop" maximas are ultra sensitive. Or as one fellow put it, his "canary in a coalmine". When something is off, the clam is the first to show.

Any pyramid snails? Any inhabitants that would eat it or drop sand in it (like a goby or blenny, etc.)?

I'm not to sure what type he is. I got him from another Canrreefer and he wasn't sure either. I've had him for 8 months (he was in my 30g tank before). No sign of pyrimid snails and no fish ever seemed to bother him. Here is a pic of when he was healthy.

Clams are odd critters, one day they're fine, the next they're goners. I've never actually seen one deteriorate over a couple of days, its always super fast.

Sorry to see that happen

That has been my experience as well - fine one day - gone the next.
