    Woke up today and found my red flame clam dead. Two white empty shells with no life or flame. I also noticed that Im losing one of my goni's little by little. It really sucks to watch something die under your nose. :(

    You mean a flame scallop or a ? If it was a Clam show any signs of stress over the last week or so ? Like not opening up as usual or pinched and showing form white edges of the mantel ? Just something looking different with it ? as for goniopora ? Have you tried to iodine dip it ? its a hard to keep coral anyways but if its a disease problem the dip will maybe help it ? won't hurt.

    Im sorry, let me rephrase the species, its a flame scallop. Hard to tell Tangster, it was hiden most of the time in a cave. I did see the red tentacles peeking out sometimes but thats was it. I dont think anything eat it.
