Emergency Moral Dilema
Well, I went to pull him out and it looks fine. Of course this was what the gold one did just before it died. It is strongly attached to the rock, and still responsive to light. No scavengers are near it (although they never went near the others when they were dead). I'm just too sucky to pull it before it is officially beyond recovery. And although I'm 99% sure it won't last the night, I have to give it the chance. Maybe this one is different than all the other hundreds of clams dying this month.
Darren, is your black still OK?
