Whats wrong with my Clams?

[MarkoD]

My example was an exaggeration. I don't like being told what to do. I have the ability to research and draw my own ideas. And if someone doesn't agree I don't care.
I don't know what the connection is but after a wc the tang got territorial and aggressive.

How are you drawing the connection between doing a water change and having aggression increase in your tank? I don't see a mechanism between the two, perhaps you can explain that to me.

It's your right to add 20 Morish idols to your tank if you want, you proved your fish wouldn't tolerate 1 so go ahead and lose 2 grand on being ignorant. The suggestions given here are for your tanks well being, take them as you want but don't flame others for anwsering your questions.

Oh, FFS, it's pinched mantle. Give it a FW dip every other day for a week, it'll be fine. And change some water for the poor fish.

Yes, both. I don't believe people are still posting here, but look!!

oh, and freshwater is free, so no cost to try it. Take the time you don't use for water changes and dip the clams...

Don't. Just match temp, drop them in for 5 or 10. They close up and contain themselves

No coincidence here, pinched mantle is though to be brought on by a protozoan similar to Perkinsus olseni .

Cleaner wrasses bites @ Clam----> Clam becomes stressed---> Immune system becomes compromised---> Protozoan now has the chance to grow----> Both clams get pinched mantle---> Marko does a fresh water dip---> Problem solved---> Marko is free to troll other posts on Canreef.

20 min after taking out the cleaner wrasse the clams have started to open up more.

should i give it a couple to see if they recover or should i just do the dip anyway, right now?
