Ya these two go at it quite frequently too. This is the second time this month. Between them and my shrimp I probably don't even need to feed the tank. They are constantly providing micro foods for me.

I came home to find spawning clams and a whole lotta dead fish.

Best to replace carbon and do a small water change shortly after the spawning stops.

Clams can go for hours. I remember once and 1.5 hours later I was all "is this going to stop anytime soon? Geeze." That's some stamina.

I vaguely remember that,it's a good reminder. I haven't noticed my clams spawning but my urchins do all the time, is it along the same sort of thing or is clam spawn harder on a tank then urchin spawn?
