That sounds like the best explanation.

That's my biggest fear with clams, when one goes, it seems to start a chain reaction..

Thanks Tony. I never thought it would happen like it did. Guess one never knows. Besides the loss, its also pretty expensive.

I just traded my ultra blue for my 2 blue croceas,s back. He also bought one of the three I bought from the coast. His are all fine, plus he has others. And the three I did buy from the coast, my remaining one looks fine as is his.

HOWEVER, I have to research. I bought one from a dealer out east and it was sick a couple days later. Could it have started there I wonder?
