Maybe I'm confused. I thought clams take in neutrients to grow.

And why would excess neutrients effect one clam negatively but not the others?
Some of my corals seem to have benefited in the last month while I've had cyano

Clams like nitrates. True.

My last battle with cyano was due to a Cbb which I was purposely over feeding my tank so it would eat. Even though I tested water and got zeros across the board I new there were nutrients in there that were feeding the cyano. I wonder if it was leach from the rocks as a few months before I had a ha outbreak from high po4. Even though the water colomn did not test high in those nutrients the rock and sand could be rich

and don't forget to quarantine everything, as it would be sad to see that bunch of fish die in less then 2 days.
