Guess Who Ate My Clam?

You saw him eating it?

Saw him pull the guts out! Didn't see him tear the mantle, though.

omnivorous they are...

mine killed two peppermint shrimps...

then it was already dead.

Damn expensive loss sorry

ya dead or dying....

clam was already dead, be happy he cleaned up the dead clam before it polluted your tank.

think about it. how big is that tangs stomach compared to the mass of flesh that was inside that clam? it don't add up.

I would do a water change

Tangs aren't as reef safe as most people would have you believe. Especially if they aren't well fed.

I did do a water change after the clam's death. I'm not saying the tang ate all of the clam - everyone got some, especially the crabs and shrimp. I'm just saying that the clam was healthy one day, and the next day it was being eaten, and I have the tang on film so I'm blaming him!

You guys need to understand that tangs attack these things and kill them slowly over the course of 2 weeks. My tang was attacking the polyps on my acans (for fun) repeatedly when I stopped giving him algae sheets (to make him eat the hair algae). Needless to say the tang is now out of the tank. They are not reef safe when hungry.

I would punch my tang in his mother ####n mouth if he did that. And the bitch knows it.
