Is my clam ok?


121a

Recommended Posts

It has a little fuzzy thing on the bottem of it and it is not responding to motion. Is it dead? It was under a 250w MH bulb and the water is fine, what is wrong with it?

no, i'll try tho. any ideas would be great. He was in a container in my 75g with the water being dumped and re filled every 3 days. If he was out in the open my lunar wrasse would eat him.

the "fuzzy" things on the bottom are probably just segments of the threads that the clam uses to attach to substrate/rocks.

the touching thing is worrisome. both of my clams close up as soon as they sense a shadow, so touching should definitely warrant a response.

 

doesn't sound good.

Are you touching the mantle? If you do, he SHOULD close up. If not hes probably on his way out if not dead already.

 

You'd know if he was DEAD though, the mantle would fall off the shell
