sand in my crocea


amored

Recommended Posts

so i got a DD cultured crocea clam a little over a week ago. it is very happy and showing no signs of stress but when i turkey baste my rocks as part of weekly maintenance, i notice that some sand always seems to get in the intake siphon. i know this is bad for croceas but i don't know what to do. i try to make it close up before-hand but it never stays closed very long. i also tried turning it upside down (under water) to see if the sand would fall out, but no such luck.

 

whaddya think? imminent death?

It should be fine. It always happened to my crocea clams, never really a problem.



Sounds like a personal problem. ;) It should "sneeze" out anything that was light enough to get blown in by a baster

 

Yeah what he says, it should sneeze out.
