Nothing to be too sad about really. Look at the rest of your tank. It's awesome and you have a great collection.Clam died today, so that's sad. On the brighter side, the Euphyllia are doing better with more feedings and some movement into slightly lower PAR spots!
Planning on getting that glass cleaned up real soon!
Meal for the tank. They go down fast once they lose their inner tissue. Was responsive yesterday evening, although sunken in. Today nothing left but shell.

Wow, what a coincidence. The day after I was over at your office one of mine just up and disintegrated in 24 hours. The others are doing just fine. The one that died was doing great also with new white shell growing and strong coloration. Parameters were good and I could not find any Pyramidellid snails. So I went back on the cameras and may have found the cause. My Flame Angel, Spotted Hawkfish and Foxface were all caught having a snack on it. What I don't know is if the clam was already on it's way out or (more likely) if one of the fish got a fatal bite on it.Sad update. Came in today to find the crocea clam dead. I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with the tank right now. This should not have been an unhealthy clam or a case of starvation. I'm guessing it was murdered or that there's something off with my water conditions. I'm beginning to think murder, and I've got my eye on the blenny who was merrily picking away at the new blue montipora digitata today.
Anyway, I'm also looking through the tank to find out if something is off, and I don't see anything screaming out at me. About to start running some parameter tests.

ORA cultured hippopus and Clammania cultured crocea. Also lost an ORA derasa back in end of Jan.
Thanks, I'm holding my breath for arriving at with today. See if the dusky fairy Wrasse makes it through the night after its injury yesterday.

That's fantastic news!A bit of good news. The brunneus looks like it has recovered use of its pectoral fin and is out swimming and eating today. That was a scare. I ordered Kanaplex from Amazon (along with Metro and Focus) and will have a medical kit ready in case anything like this happens again and needs treatment.

Might be the blenny picking at the clams. He's been picking at a LOT of coral lately. I haven't been too fussed about it since it's mostly been the clove polyps (have at it) and gorgonians (hrmm...). But I also watched him picking at a monti digi skeleton (the part that was stung by the torch and bare). Don't know if he was picking pods off of the digi or trying to get the remaining polyps on that branch. That's one idea, is to move the blenny with the clowns into a different tank. They get along. And I'd like to add 2-3 more wrasses in this tank...
Are we thinking hitch hiker possibly?
