So, I have had a beautiful 3" ultra blue maxima on my tank for the last 2 months with no issues. It was thriving, opening and closing with shadows, filter feeding, mantle looked great, etc.
To my horror, I went to do my daily look at my tank and it was flipped on its side, and hollow with a small bit of muscle left inside (just enough for it to close itself on my dang fingers which ticked me off but also made me feel horrible).
Recently, I added a Ruby fairy wrasse, hippo and pyramid triangle fish (over the weekend). From what I understood, pyramids were reef/clam safe. Is this one of those "with cautions" and "few exceptions" with fish personalities?
Or should I search for other culprits? Since it was so sudden and the clam showed no signs of stress or I jury, I don't think it was any of my clean up crew.
