Look For Snails
 

Scott, take it out and look for/clean any pyram (I think they're called) snails.

pyramid snails are evil, evil buggers.

I saw someone had a thread last month I think, where they used Velcro to hold the bottom of the clam together....

theres no snails on it only an astrea star and the hing isnt broken but the musle that opens and closes it is gone

look really closely, especially in the evening,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I couldn't see them but my wife found them when she pulled ours out, found/removed lots

will take a look at night but i do fw dips on clams befor i add them to the tanklol
man this sucks i think il loose it

We lost 2 of them (from Langley) the same way & still bought a 3rd from there at their boxing day sale. Fortunately we have been able to save this one, looking for those snails. I hope you can still save it.

u **** sory to hear that sucks i only paid 40$ for it so not a huge loss but im realy hoping it pulls thru

where did u buy the clam from scott? i dont mind a $40 clam lol

The langly store it was 100$ but boxing day 50% off

Is your clam on the sand or a rock shelf, I had mine on a rock shelf and it was doing great for the longest time, I think something was attacking it from the bottom. I thinking Bristle worms but not sure, long story made short I lost it. :cry:

Its on the sand atm and sorry to hear that sucks

A lot of them that came out pet land seem to have died

I don't know that pet land carry saltwater

They are doing a refurb at the moment on their saltwater stuff. Although it seems like they have been doing it forever. They have a huge frag yank set up now but it doesn't have water in it yet.

They have sold salty stuff for about a year now I think.

i would never buy any livestock from a big box store. most of the time the staffs don't know what they're doing.

Its not a big box store although the name does inply
