I feel your pain.. One of mine was that big too.. Is it gapping so big it looks like the flesh is tearing? That's the way mine went.

Curious.. How many of us loosing clams recently added new ones? I added new from the shipment of blue squammys that went around last month.

I lost my 12" squamosa a couple weeks ago. That was not a pleasant thing to clean out. I'm keeping those shells.

FWIW I haven't added any new livestock in months and the last few clams I bought were easily 6 months ago.

%&#@! One of my new additions (crocea) is looking like crap.... I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't make the night. My first one wasn't gone very long at all before I pulled it from the tank. The second was within the last couple of days (I was out of town, so II'm not really sure) and the third was tonight (one day after I got home and noticed the 2nd dead one.... maybe the 'corpse' of the 2nd one is in the tank somewhere and causing this??? Times like this I wish I had a second tank here.... I could hold them in there until I can get them all up to Fort Mac.

BTW, I have added recently... also on the blue squammy shipment.
