if you have hermits or nassarius and it is on its way out they will be all over the clam.
I know when one of the clams in my store is going to die by the way the inverts act..they are like sharks on a blood trail.

I've done it to a squamosa a few times over the years always worked like a charm if things didn't seem right, about 15 mins I think I did, google freshwater dipping clams lots of people do it usually for pinched mantle issues but I thought my clam was gonna die more than once and it saved it, better than tossing in the trash in a few days but that's upto you

OK...I fresh water dipped it for 30 minutes. Will look first thing in the morning to how it's doing.

I figured I've got nothing to loose at this point.

Freshwater dips are fine and recommended for pinched mantle. I've done this quite a few times over the years, I toss it in some RO water for 30 minutes. Saved most that way.

Give it a few days to start recovering but hopefully it works out.

I should google things before opening my big mouth
once again, I put my foot in my mouth
I just would never think of putting a clam in fresh water
hope it works
I have now learnt something new
