are these what I think they are?
and any tips on getting rid of them? The clam looks fine (as clams usually do until they're dead), its the only one in the tank. Not overly surprising that i have them really as every other clam died over a 4 month span last spring.

Oh CRAP
Basically you have to remove them with some tools and keep checking/cleaning daily until all the eggs are hatched Good luck !! Some reading for you http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/clam...oval-tips.html http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=322700 |

I had a run in with these. Daily removal with tweezers and brush the shell with a toothbrush. Of coarse not over your tank

how long do you figure it took before you felt you were free of them?

Can you remove the clam? If so, dump it in a bucket of RO for 20 minutes.

Wait. That's for pinched mantle. But I suppose it might kill off some snails too.

Easy peasy. Scrubbed off about 100-150 of the little buggers. No egg masses that I noticed but they got scrubbed off too and I went after the scutes with a little pick. Clam is clean for now and its business as usual in the tank. Guess I should feed the fish more, one of my tangs tried to take a chunk out of my arm
Now to attempt to do this every second night. Should be interesting...

I couldn't find info on the web to nail down the incubation period of these little buggers Did it say anything in one of the links ? I must have missed it From what I can find on the web, they can take anywhere from 3-18 days to hatch - temp dependant .... |
