    Help, how would you remove zoas/plays from clam shell?

    In a little bit of a unique situation here. I got zoanthids/plays growing on my crocea clam shell. It’s getting to a point where they’re starting to cover the mantle. My current remedy is irritating the zoas so they close for a period of time, but I can only do that so often. I can’t use kalk...

    Is my clam healthy?

    Hello, I added mussels to my aquarium for the first time. This is its second day and it is responding to the reactions. He looks good except for his mouth. Is this much mouth opening normal? Also in local lfs it said maxima but I think it's crocea. Can someone with knowledge about mussels help?

    New crocea clam tear or pinched mantle syndrome?

    I just got this ultra crocea shipped from Biota and noticed that the mantle is damaged once it opened up. Does this look like a pinched mantle? What can I do to help the damaged mantle heal? How long does it take for the mantle to heal? I'm a bit peeved that I was shipped a damaged clam...

    Crocea clam detached from its original rock

    My crocea clam has detached from its original rock. It is still on the rock but its foot is not attached to the rock. Should I be worried? 1. Its mantle is still opening up and it is still reacting to the light. 2. Foot looks clean after inspecting for any bugs.

    Tiny Clam ID

    Hello, I just received a cleanup crew shipment and in one of the bags with a whole mess of dwarf ceriths there was what looks to be an extremely small clam. It's no bigger than a centimeter and I'm wondering if anyone knows if it will get larger or remain small. I placed it in my sand bed...

    Crocea clam gaping? Shell not fully connected

    The bottom part of my crocea clam shell isn’t connected and there’s quite a bit of gap between the left and right side of its shell. Is this considered gaping? P.S: Mantle still opens up and it is still reacting quickly.

    Derasa Clam question

    Hey what’s up everyone. Recently got a derasa clam from ORA. Arrived at what looked like a slight rip in the mantle. For whatever reason today, seems like it’s more torn? I don’t suspect anything in my tank harassing the derasa as I’ve had a crocea for the last 6 months with no issues. Does this...

    Mantle extension

    Maxima bleaching?

    Picked up a nice Maxima at a swap yesterday. He has been reactive to light changes and hasn’t been closed, but I came down today and saw some “white-ish” circles on some of the flesh. Is it being bleached? Have it right under an XR15 running 50% AB+ in my frag tank. I’d say around 200 PAR...

    Clam - snails?

    Hey guys, I have a derasa clam who’s been doing great for over a month now. The other day he developed a hole in his mantle — so I’ve performed a fresh water dip and relocated him )”(unsure if something may have messed with him). After the dip, I noticed a bunch of snail shells around him...
