So I think something is eating my clam but I don’t know what is it. I have two clown fish and one fire fish and some algae eating snail that is it. I used to have a possum fish but jump out of the tank recently. I don’t know if it is the possum fish or something else. Anyone have any suggestions?

Pics of the snails?
Is this one of them or do you have another type?

It looks like some fish is taken bites out of your clam. It will heal. What is a possum fish? Common name are difficultly to decipher.

How long have you have the clam? Is it growing?
Hi I have the clam around 8 months. It was growing and then the tank had a alkalinity swing it stop growing. However, recently the tank went back to stable and the clam just start growing again.

It does not seem any of your fish are bubbler type of fish. Check for something else. The mantle maybe damage by other things.
I used to have a blenny that took perfect semicircle chunks out of my camp mantle. Bact to the LFS he went.

Yeah, definitely agree. I will try to search around when the light turns off.
