    Bubble algae on tridacna shell removal?

    Hello everyone, I recently noticed that one side of my giant clams shell has been 3/4 covered with bubble algae. Should i remove the rock with the clam in a bucket and scrape it off, or is there a better/safer way?

    Emergency: Derasa Clam Detached Hinge

    Hopefully someone here can help out! I woke up yesterday to find my LARGE Derasa clam had managed to somehow detach its hinge.
