A sad clam story that may turned OK

[jim norris]

Hello Lisa,
The clams that are attached to big pieces of LR I just check out in the tanks. My clams that are not attached I remove from the water to inspect for snails and worms and to clean them of any algae the tangs didn't eat. Cleaning algae off the shell is real important mostly on babies 2 inches and under.

Jim,

Ahh got it! Phew, mine are all much bigger than 2" and attached to rocks. I'll just continue to admire them from my armchair I think

BTW Scar.... great name, I hope that he continues to do well .

Regards

Lisa

Jim, you did a great job to put this clam back in together. I am so happy the clam is alright, you too! With your care he will be just fine. Hope to see you in a few weeks. Holly

Well, that's just another reason to always have super glue on hand. I can't think of how many times I've needed a tube and been out.

It is now 7:30 pm in Austin, Texas Scar just went to the sink for inspection (I used all four hands) no WORMS or snails!! These first three pictures are of Scar toweling off. And the next three is of him out of the hospital tank and with his bubbies. Notice on the upper shell where I there is a piece missing the new growth!!!

We have a terrible day in Paradise. It is 74 and nice ocean breeze LOL Going down to the pier to have brunch and enjoy this weather.

Do I need to bring warm cloths next week-end? No shorts I guess

Barry

Where are you putting the 400ers?
