My cleaner wrasse does not touch my clam.

I would guess that so long without a water change, their could be heavy metal build up in the water wich is killing the clam.

YOu should have your water analysed for heavy metal.

So what was the cause? Was it the dip that helped?

Of course not, simply teasing hence my envious green face. However many in fact do eat clams, most actually develop the behavior later in life.
