I've given up on them for a while. I had a nice little collection of 5 clams ranging from 5 years to 2 years old that all died within a few months in 2010. Pyramidal snails... In 2011 once the snails disappeared I tried again, one after another over the course of a year I bought a squamosa (from a local's tank), derasa and Tahiti maxima. The derasa and the maxima died after about a year, and the squamosa lived for 3. I have not seen any of those snails since 2010... but something still isn't right. Meanwhile I've got other non-coral inverts (urchin, cucumber, abalone) that are pushing 7 years old. So I'm stumped.

That sucks it might just be a disease. There's organism specific bacteria and viruses for every member of the tree of life. You'd never be able to test for it, but maybe your tank caught the clam equivalent of small pox?

Sorry to hear Doug.
That's my biggest fear with clams, when one goes, it seems to start a chain reaction..

HOWEVER, I have to research. I bought one from a dealer out east and it was sick a couple days later. Could it have started there I wonder?
