Hey reefers,

Can you help me ID if my clams byssal organ / foot is torn or not? Or is it just byssal thread damage?

I found my new 6” blue squamosa fallen over in the QT tank... it fell off the rock it attached to, the weight must of pulled it over, tearing what connection the byssal made.

Please see attached pictures

I can’t catch s break recently. Hope there is good news here....

Thank you so much.
