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.

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.

Well I had another look this morning, maby not as bad as I had thought. The edges seem to be a bit frillyer and thinner than I remember and I dont see any snails. It still reacts to light every time a fish swims by. The intake seems to be gaping a bit although i have nothing to reference it with. Christy if your down this way any time soon could you stop in please? I am home all week. I will try to get some pictures up.
