Hey all,
I have a good sized tank with about 300lbs of Tampa bay live rock. I have somewhere between 15 and 25 golf ball to baseball sized clams (all of which came with the rock). In the past week or so shells have been coming up empty. First it was a small (1/2") empty shell with no lid on the rock. Next it was a emptied shell sitting on the sand (top and bottom still attached but nothing inside). This morning it was a large muscle on the sand. Must be 3" across. Looks like it was eaten and then just dropped right off the rock. The shells appear intact, but the inside of the shell looks pressure washed. Any ideas?
Thanks
