Blastomussa Welsi and ultra grade maxima

[busted12]

I had this clam close to a year and its been doing excellent. Today it was found with mucos all around it. Do you think the Blastomussa Welsi {which was right next to it} could this have eaten away at the foot? The Blastomussa Welsi is around 12inches in diameter.

no. i dont think the wellsi was responsible.

I was hoping it was, now I have no idea why it died I have several others with no problems.

The byssal glands slime up randomly for some reason. Keep an eye on the clam and make sure nothing is irrtating it. I am unfamiliar with blastos but you should move the blasto away if you think there is a chance that it stung the clam.

Unfortunately the clam died it had the slime around it last night and today when I arrived home it was dead. I should have moved it.

Was it a really thick, I mean thick, mucus? If so, keep an eye out for polyclad worms after lights out.

Okay I will have to see what these worms look like. I know I have bristle worms.
