What fish and inverts do you have? How long have you had it? What are your water params? Do you run carbon or GFO?

params are in check
alk 8
calc 440
mg 1340
am 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 0-5
po4 0

just run a small amount of gac, use lanthanum chloride every 2 months or so for po4 control
dose vodka .03ml per day

fish are tomini tang, 2 blue chromis
inverts are cleaner shrimp, hermit crabs, snails all of which are reef safe

i've had it about a month, month and a half under leds 60-50% placed in mid tank

started acting up about 2 days ago or so

Can you take a Gatorade bottle and cut it in half and fill it full of 1/4" holes for water circulation and then place it over the clam to shield it. I bet it's ether your shrimp irritating it, or it looks to be a French Polynesian Maxima and I've seen lots of them not do well in the home aquarium and die after a short period of time.

Shrimp really doesn't mess with it to much. At least the mantle. But yeah sure I'll try that out! Thanks for advice! Will i be able to uncover it sooner or later or does one or the other need to go?
