Crocea clam issues

yeah sorry to hear, and 9 times out of 10 if a cleaner picks at it then its a goner..

sometimes things just happen with clams, and by the time you notice something wrong its too late..

i would think that the salinity change affected it, croceas are the harder clams to keep, at least for the most part..

your cleaner will prolly molt soon...

 

Sorry to hear about your clam. :-/

As for FW baths, a healthy Tridacna can tolerate a FW up to 30 minutes. In the wild Tridacna are left exposed during negative tides. They are exposed to torrential rains without detriment to the clam.

This is a very good link regarding both pyramids and PMD.

Thanks. I can always count on you to give me some more reading to do. LOL.

 

Yeah I am weird that way, believe me I have always read a link I recommend. Most important though I do my best not to advise something that I can not back up with first hand experience and research. Research usually equals a link.
;D:;D:;D

 

Hehe, well thanks again! I'm bummed my clam is gone, was finally coloring up really nice. But, on the bright side, at least it one less thing in my upcoming tank swap to go wrong.

+rep for you and saintsfan for the major help in my time of panic
