When I was researching into buying a clam I read that if you damage the clams foot it will die. Yesterday night my girlfriend said there was a snail on the clam and she had to knock him off..... that was red flag number one.
Fast forward to today I find a large fleshy bundle of fibers (the same ones that used to anchor the clam to the ground.) Now the clam is no longer attached to the fibers but the bundle of fibers is still connected to the bottom of my tank. Is this his foot? Will it die without it? I'm just confused because the clam is fully open and seems happy....
If his foot wasn't detached and separated from its body I wouldn't even be worried.
