cital Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 So I purchased a Derasa clam and it was very healthy and my tank is very established with no issues. I acclimated the clam and it looked great... that evening after the lights went down my Pom Pom crab started “inspecting” the clam... the clam retracted, but I figured the crab was just checking things out and would go about its business... in the morning nearly the entire clam was gone and the Pom Pom crab was inside the shell... is this known to happen or was it a fluke? Thanks for any feedback... 1 Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Crab probably smelled the clam was sick/dying and just wanted a free meal. Clams can look in perfect health up until they just die. The stress of the move for a sick clam was probably the last straw. Quote Link to comment
