Catbus Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 pretty sure it's unnecessary, never heard of anyone dipping clams. i'll let others chime in though Link to comment
devilsadvocate Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 i dont ever dip any corals, though a clam is an invert. Link to comment
TeflonTomDosh Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I've never heard of dipping them. I have heard of NOT taking them out of water though. Also heard about flipping it a couple times to "burp" it. "Take care when unpacking your clam that you do not expose it to air. Internal air bubbles can cause problems, "burp" the clam by tipping to dislodge any bubbles." Link to comment
kevin_f Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 clam is an invert. Do not dip it. Link to comment

ZephNYC Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'd wait for ZephNYC to respond on the matter. Dont ever use a product like revive on clams. Most coral cleaners use very high amounts of iodine which will really stress your clam out. The only thing I would ever dip a clam in is fresh water. Link to comment
ptboy6 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'd dip it in tank water and swash it and use a brush to scrub it. Don't expose it to air though(or try not to). Don't dip it in ReVive! Link to comment
Syed Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 No point in dipping. I got a Crocea clam about same time you did and asked a trusted LFS owner if I should dip in anything. He told me it's unnecessary and may stress the clam even more after the move to my house. Dips for clams are usually freshwater and for stuff like Pinched Mantel etc. Don't use Revive.
