Is it just the mantles that are retracted, or are these closed too?

Anything new lately that you've done? My clams sometimes appear unhappy in a similar way, even when water parameters test fine. Have you had your hands in the tank lots?

they started looking bad at least 2 - 3 weeks ago. Haven't been doing much of anything in th etank during that time.
Clams are on the bottom and in the rock wrok, but I seriously doubt it's the lamps Barry.

Anything from the clam forum? I'm fresh out of ideas, sorry, up until recently I've only ever lost a clam to "natural causes", and after that it was all to the tank crash.

Dammit this thread split before I got to lay crap on Barry. What an opening and nobody took it
![]() I'll look around a bit more in the local forums and see if I can find anything they may help with the clams Jonathon, but to date only the fireworms is all I've seen, outside the normal problems, such as light and water parameters. |

I noticed tonight, since I can partially see through the glass now, that the clams are not closing up after lights out like they normally do.

do a fresh water dip for 15 minutes, examine for tiny snails and remove them, may have to repeat this a few times over the next week or two

hehehehe...sometimes they don't survive the dip but I will be assessing that today. The hard part is that they are deep and mounted, so I have a really hard time trying to extract them.

He has a nice system.I wonder how people can afford such large systems.Here I am with a 300 and hardly any corals and I have spent so much.My system isn't fancy.Its just a tank with a sump.

some people live for their tanks, others define wealth differently.
He and I have a lot of reef keeping philosophy in common. I love the PHAT skimmer. Too bad it uses so much electricity! ![]()
