New Maxima not looking good.

Have you tried keeping any clams since? Were the other molluscs in your systems ok?

It did keep some again several months after they all died and they have been ok past couple years now. Only clams impacted. There is a whole host of things and diseases in giant clams that are pretty unknown, not much cause for formal studies.

Did you find out what it was? Ever take a microscope to any of the tissue? Tried freshwater dip?

OP, sorry to hear about the clam. Did you ever FW dip it? I’ve had good luck with FW dips for pinched maximas. Also I’m surprised no one commented that was gaping in every photo, which is definitely a sign of stress from something.

I haven’t tried a fresh water dip yet. Need to get a good microscope.

You could also contact a local university, bio students there will probably be really interested to check it out!
