Look closely for pyramid snails. I lost one of my baby max's before I clued into the snails.

Pinched mantle is a condition caused by protozoans. It will be fatal if left unchecked. If what you have IS pinched mantle, you need to do a FW dip on the clam. It has been many years since I last dealt with PM so I don't remember how long of a dip is required. I'll try looking it up and posting back but in the meantime that is something you can look up too.

Coral Beautys are known to nip at clams... that would be the only reason I do not have one in my tank!

I forgot to follow up with the promised article.

http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume...6_4/clams.html

Suggests 20 to 30 minutes in RO water. (Note, RO, not RO/DI).

Yep, need photos. Call me if you need any help, I bet its pyramellid (sp?) snails though.
