I will be setting up a new tank in the next 6 months and I will need to transfer my 5-6 year old maxima clam to the new tank.
The clam currently has some hair and bubble algae on the shell that I would like to first remove as well.
My questions are…
1. are there any special requirements when handling a clam outside of water?
2. can I clean the shell with something like a toothbrush?
3. is there a way to remove the clam from the rock it is attached to?
4. Current lighting is T5. I’m planning for LED in new tank. Any concerns?
thanks
