Crocea needs help. Bleaching?... and a hole?
Hi,
Quick list of events: I rearanged some rock and move the clam down in the tank. Watched closely and he seemed fine with the move. About 4 months after the move I noticed some whitish spots. I then moved him back up to his original placement in the tank, and I have seen no change in the spots. He has been in this location for about 2 months. Now It looks like I can see a hole through the center of him. He is still attached to the rock, and I can not see a hole if I pick him up and look at the bottom of him. I also noticed that it looks like the tissue between the 2 halfs of the shell has gone white where it used to be the same color as the mantle. Is there anything I can do? As of last week water prams were: sg 1.023 Cal 410 Alk 12 Nitrates 5ppm Tank is a 75gal with T5 lighting 4 52watt bulbs. Here are a couple of pics, but not sure the pictures really show the problem. Also, he sometimes appaers to be gaping, but not always. Thanks, Mish

looks like a normal fold of the mantel not a hole and the other pics look normal as well. your salinity is low and your Alk is high, both not good for a calm.
