You can siphon some off using hard air tube piping connected to airless flexible tubing just like a vacuum. Intermittently do this so you are not constantly moving the clam.
Yes there are pyramid snails that don’t stay on the host. These guys spend majority of their time on sand bed, live rock, and glass just forging, but they will prey on their victims frequentlyCaught it red handed..
Sorry to hear. My noae is showing some blotching, hopefully it's just stress? I'm a guy who hates to lose pods, so I really don't want to lose a clam, especially a teardrop. Again, sorry about your clam, but here's hoping it will survive.Yep. Mine is more than likely a goner. I only noticed yesterday. Frustrating. Anyway, I went ahead and set up my 20g qt for the remaining clams. I wanted no risk to their health. I made sure no sand, no snails, no nothing in to start. I will still check them every night. I hope I limit the damage to one.
Very sad day today.
I'm not sure, but I'm about to find out. I'm going to remove all of my snails and only keep the few hermits I have and my three urchins. I can't remove the clams, so I'll have to put them in clear jars or containers and replace the sand/rubble daily. I might be able to move them to my sump in an isolated area and light them with a single Kessil?If there's no CUC in a tank... will these pyramid snails eventually starve? Or do they eat detritus as well?
James fathertree says 30 days to starve with no prey.If there's no CUC in a tank... will these pyramid snails eventually starve? Or do they eat detritus as well?
I thought about removing some sand from the tank and bleaching it, because I don't have extra sand on hand. I have extra arm media, which is why I used it instead. I just need enough sand to replace when I check the clams. It's funny, but bleaching sand always reminds me of my time at Tropicorium. Good times.Rather then the coarse rocks, I would use a fine sand bed, deep enough to keep the clams from attaching.
