Clam bleached??

[SINNERMF]

well i picked up 2 super sweet Maximas a couple of weeks ago. Left them on the bottom of the tank for about a week to get used to the light. about a week and a half later I moved them both up onto the rockwork, and about 4 days later i noticed that the color of one of the clams started to get some white spots. I'm assuming I moved it a little too soon and it started to bleach, am I right??? Well I was wondering if this is going to be a permanent thing or will the color go back to the way it was?? If I can get a good shot w/ my camera I'll take a couple of pics.

sounds like it is bleaching

once bleach spots appear, are they permanant??

Bleach spots (central and/or on the mantel) are not permanent but is an indicator something is wrong. I suspect, like you mentioned, that the clam was moved too quickly up to the light.

Good luck
