Thanks Jim! I will pull him out when I get home for the sniff test. If he is sick, he sure does not show it. Plus, I would suspect if the bristle worms were starting to munch, the clam would be very stressed and not open...?
The bristles are really out of control in my tank. For some reason I have had a 'pod die off and I believe the lack of competition has caused a polulation boom with bristle worms. They are all very small, but can be seen in every nook, cranny and hole.
Thanks again!
Paul
