I got this clam back at the end of September, the LFS said he was a squamosa so I put him on the sand bed. For the first month or two he wasbut the last few weeks he doesn’t seem to open much. My Bella goby dumped a bunch of sand on him and since then he’s been staying closed. I’m not sure if he’s just avoiding sand or if something else is going on. I’m also now wondering if it’s a derasa clam not a squamosa, and if so does it need more light? I also have a maxima in the tank that is up higher on the rocks than the goby ventures and it is doing great.
Here is a pic of when I got him and one of how he looks now.
