I have had this clam for almost a week. The shell is about 12 inches. It was kept under 250w radiums previously and my tank has 400w radiums. It wasn't fully expanding so I shortened my photo period on that side of the tank and it is extending now so I will acclimate it slowly to the additional light, but I want to make sure that it doesn't have pinched mantle. It has a couple spots the concern me and 1 side isn't extending quite as much as the other.
I drip acclimated the clam slowly over 2 hours to minimize any stress.
What are your thoughts? I started carbon last night. If it is pinched mantle it looks fairly minor. Should I do a freshwater dip? Should I wait and see what it looks like later today/tomorrow?
Thanks in advance!
