Unreachable clam on half shell

[laurendonatella]

hi everyone! So I know this sounds ridiculous but thought I would ask anyway...

I have. 75 gal DT with only a small whitetail brissletooth tang and a small leopard Toby puffer in it. I dropped a frozen clam on a half shell for the Toby, which he couldn’t be less interested in btw, and in my attempt to drop it close to him, it landed in a small crevice between the glas and rock work. Now, of course in my attempt to get it out, I managed to shove it under rockwork in a place where there is no way I can get it out.

Anyone foresee it being a problem if I leave it in there? No CUC since my tank doesn’t really have much to CU right now.

Thoughts?

Shouldn’t be a problem in a cycled 75g.

Youll be fine. but I'd get a cuc. If you have fish there will be stuff to clean up.

Thank you! Do you quarantine CUC?

Naw. I mean if you have the means it probably wouldn't hurt, but I dont think cuc members carry much, if any, risk. Especially, if they come from tanks housing nothing but cuc.

I highly reccomened Reef Cleaners for cuc.
