thanks for the link doch.....just re-read the thread and I think my case is different from the vast majority of everyone who chimed in and described what happened to them.....most peeps are losing them over monthes or a year.....I have lost 8 in three weeks....Funky Fish said the he knew of a few others that had multiple deaths, but no one else responded after that....

Hey Doug, I really think this clam is on a one way trip out. It has recessed even further into the shell
 no snail or worms in sight in the QT

For the pyram snails you can use a filter sock to catch them over time.

My clam is gone. Removed it last night. Got a bad case of the tank stink when I got home from work.. so less than 36 hours and he was gone. Should I have been worried from the start when I was transfering him from the bucket to the tank after acclimation.. he didnt move at all or respond to the light? I didnt think anything of it till last night talking to a friend.

I've been running filtersocks steady for the past 5 years and I still daily see the little snails on my glass. +/-2000gph goes down my overflow through a 100 micron sock.
But then again it could also have been a pathogen that my most recent addition (the squamosa) brought in that killed my clams.

It is definatley a clamademic!!!
As Doug and I feared the clam I got from him did not make it last night, thought it was turning around but then late last night to all just went to mush. And now to top that off the other big clam that I got from Doug almost a year ago is dieing too. I dont care what anyone says bristol worms KILL!! I have been checking all the remaining clams for the last week to see if there are any of those snails anywhere and NONE. BUT there where BW's I pulled 2 off both my larger clams, the one from Doug and the one from Rick. Now a perfectly healthy clam is dieing and I DO attibute it all to BW's at least for the ones that have been in my tank for more then 3 months PS DOUG CLEAR YOUR INBOX DUDE
