I have a RedSea 525xl about six months old. We introduced a Gold Maxima clam about 6 weeks ago and its been doing great, full extension until about a week ago. He is still extending, but not the same. Clam has started leaning and is at about a 45° angle. He is responding, but not as well as previously. He is attached to a rock, but he has been moving a lot lately. Wondering why and should I move him? If so, how do i detach him without hurting him?
I dont see anything superficially wrong with him, no pests that I can see.
Thanks so much for the help, this our first clam.
Just did a 25% water change today. Parameters were a little wonky, but not terrible.
PH 8.0
Ammonia .5ppm (fed a new food from algae barn that may have contributed. Nothing is dead, corals are happy)
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10ppm
Magnesium 1350
Calcium 440
Phos .2
