Help with clam

[Cornerreefs36]

But I had a luner wrasse which has now been removed from the tank he has picked at the clam so much that there's a massive hole but the clam is not closing anymore the clam still has flesh is he save able or something I can do to help all discussions and input will help me thank you

I don't think that clam is alive anymore sadly. You should do a "sniff Test" to make sure, but even if it was alive a clam of that size would most likely perish in a matter of time.

If it’s dead it will smell horrendous.

Agree on death. I wonder if clam was already in trouble prior to wrasse's behavior as wrasse generally will not bother them

Well it don't stink yet

Sorry for your loss.

Yeah, the chances of its survival are low, but if it does not stank then maybe it is still alive. Still will probably not make it.
