Is this crocea healthy or lookingpmd

[rowenaad]

I have just got a crocea clam ~3.5"/8 cm last night currently in qt, but the mantle feels pinched and the way its mantle extends is very different from my maxima clam that i've had for almost a year. Can someone please have a look if it looks healthy. Thanks

p1 is taken by the lfs

p2 is taken by a friend instore who brought it for me

p3 and p4 is taken this morning in my qt

That is a funky shape Crocea, likely due to restriction of the space where he grew up. He looks a little stressed, which is normal for newly capture and shipped Crocea. Hopefully he will recover for you. wild caught clams are always a gamble. QT him well if you have valuable clams in your tank. He is a pretty special Crocea.

its doing fine in quarantine and will be released this saturday :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: but it has shown no growth at all. not sure if its just because of its age and grow extremely slow or the quarantine is low in nutrient. its ~3inch/7.5cm across so i guess it should still grow?
