I've had this beautiful clam for 2 months.
It's been like the below image for about a week.
And today...
I just checked all my water parameters, everything is on my point, I test and dose accordingly daily. I only have 4 fish, all reef safe, 2 clowns, firefish and mandarin.
The only thing I saw which I could even consider annoying the clam was my blood shrimp but that was when my clam started looking like the second picture and I got rid of the shrimp yesterday.
Previously you can say I have man handled a maxima and dearasa which were a 3rd the size of this clam and they never died on me like this through everything they went through, even after damaging a maxima's foot.
This is very hard to take especially given I imported this from Germany to the UK and paid 33% of the clam's price just in shipping alone.
I guess all I can ask at this stage is when is the appropriate time to remove it from my aquarium? As right now it's alive in whatever poor state it's in.
