Hello,
I picked up a beautiful wild T. noae from my workplace about 3 weeks ago. Initially it had pretty good mantle extention (was never anything like my T. crocea though), but now I find it's always partially closed up. The clam is still very reactive to light, has a strong foot, and I've seen it open and close rapidly (assuming it's trying to move?). One thing to note, practically the entire clam shipment died within a week at my work. I have it under a radion G5 XR30 and 4 T5 bulbs so lighting is not an issue. Even though it is close to my nero 5 I have the pump dialed really low because I thought it may have been getting too much flow, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. No pyram snails. I also feed a ton of live phyto. Any idea what may be wrong, PMD? I added some photos of when I first got it, and now.
Thank you.
