![]() The way I know something has died is if I see a bristle worm poking out of its hole in broad daylight or my nassarius snails are up out of he sand bed and cruising around ,doesn't look good for our clam n the pic

![]() I came home to find white slim looking stuff being blown around the tank and from my past experience that was never a good thing so I took it out and put it in a bucket with saltwater. It smelled bad but was still closing when being touched. As much I didn't want to give up on it I dumped it out
![]() I'm super disappointed though as it was was of my favorite pieces in the tank...it was about 10" and beautiful! ...and now my Monti Cap looks like it might be next. This tank is a new addition to my house so maybe the move was just too much for somethings. RIP Clam

![]() thats about right , its common for one clam to die then another die as well, the issue your new clam had has been passed to your other clam , could be a pathogen of sorts we dont know but its pretty common, sorry to say it but all your clams are probably toast except the most hardy. have you ruled out predators like pyramid snails? where did you get all your clams , how long have you had them,what do you use for source water and what type of clam are they........your answers are prob in one of these four questions unless your tank was inadequate for them to begin with. this is the reason you dont see clam dominated tanks very often , in fact you never see them , a nice as they are you would think lots of people would do a clam only tank , realistically though they tend to die in numbers and for odd reasons of which prob has nothing to do with us or has everything to do with us.
