No parasites I called WWC since that is who I purchased it from and they said it maybe starving to death@btackerman
Have you check for parasitic snails on the clam?
How I deal with Parasitic snails on my clam
What's your par by the zoas? Zoas tend to be in the 100-150par range typically. My guess based on 3 AI hydra 26 on my 65g is this will still not be nearly enough for a clam. I have mine cranked to the max and about 6" from the water and I can keep Acropora about half way down in the tank. I took my diffusers off.. it helps with the spread because the AI were very narrow focus but they cut down on the overall par quite a bit.Ok so no need to try to put a tile down for it and would you think it should be fine around some zoas
Can we get an update on the blue Maxima clam? I have 6 in my tank They live on the sand bed just fine.So I have purchased a nice size blue maxima clam, with him opening and closing it had kept burying itself into the sand so I purchased a clam bed for it, problem was it was to large for the bed so after going to my lfs he advised to flip it over so it could sit on the flat rock and today it did not look so great. I tried the light test and move my hand over and I did not see a shadow and it did not retract, so I decided that was a bad test to I touched the mantle instead and the mantle will retract but the shell won’t.
I did have my water tested as well and I know my biggest issue is phosphates and nitrates ( barley to not even testable)
My salinity is 1.025
Calcium 420
Alk 7
In the past I have had great success with clams but since I have gone back to a reef tank I waited my year and added this one and I am a little scared for it, not only a $350 animal but a beautiful animal that should not Parrish, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Also the screen clip is what it looked like when I bought it
