Hi,
My maxima clam is spawning, which happens from time to time. But THIS time I have cleaner shrimp and they were harassing poor Charlie (said clam) while he was spawning. Like trying to crawl in while he spawned. Then I noticed a couple of nassarius coming around. So, I panicked and put the clam in an enclosure to allow him to spawn in peace. I am worried he is dying! My parameters are solid:
Ph at 8.0
Nitrates at 2
Magnesium at 1350
Calcium at 400
SG at 1.0245
Nothing, and I mean nothing new has happened in the tank in the last 3-5 months. Maintenance is regular. I can't think what could be wrong and I can't figure out what more I can do if he is in fact dying. Any help is appreciated. Pictures attached
