My snails sleep in the sand but they come out lots especially when I put in food. I love these guys. Here is a shot of the clam today at 6.00 PM I took out a few more snails this morning on my small clams. No snails on this clam though. It does not look like it has a big hole in the byssal but it is not open as much as it was.

he does look a little retracted, which could be from the pyramids but also possibly an ALK issue , coral proximity issue or a fish / invert issue.
how is your ALK and CA? how do you maintain it?? any spikes recently or have you started dosing something new?? what fish and invert are in that tank?? is he near any corals that have sweepers or use chemical warfare?? are you running carbon?

It is now in my other tank, but before that he was in the refugium of my SPS tank no fish just some shrooms and zoos. CA MG are at great levels I use IO salt and add CA and MG to bring it up then maintain that with kalk.
I did have both on the high side for a few days 480 on my CA and 1450 on my MG. Now he is in a different tank so will see what happens. He seems OK still about the same this morning. Make me wonder if I should of kept the other one longer It was really retracted though and I did not want it dieing in my SPS tank. No snails this morning.

try to give as much paramater stability as possible and keep checking for the snails, a new batch of eggs could be hatching as we speak.....

Well I don't think it is going to make it. It is still alive but me thinks it's time to pull the plug.
Any thoughts? No snails for a few days now and I pulled a big crab yesterday.
