I've wanted a clam since I started my aquarium. I've bought and killed multiple clams through the years, and they all follow the same path. They start healthy and slowly dwindle down. I've tried different venders and different sizes. All Maxima.
I think it's something in my aquarium, but I let my aquarium go for a year without a clam before I tried this time.
I don't think it's my water or lighting. I have multiple thriving SPS colonies.
My best guess is there is some parasite/pathogen in my aquarium. What do you think?
New Healthy Clam - July 2
July 6th, Clam is healthy and attached
July 17, Clam is starting to show some signs of pinched mantle on the Left side
July 25th the clam is not extending it's mantle on the left side.
Today the Clam is not extending it's mantle on both sides.
I've given it a fresh water bath a week ago, and it hasn't helped.
I feel terrible every time one dies. I've had the same fish and corals for years.
Any ideas?
