Clam disease??

[pinkneyss]

A lfs has been having problems with his clams. He has been stedaliy losing them for the past couple weeks. His water tests fine & we've spent a LOT of time watching for predators.

Right before the problem started I brought home a nice healthy looking Crocea. It did great in my tank for about a week, then went downhill & died (just like the ones in the store). Now my other 2 Croceas are both looking bad. My Maxima & Squamosa are looking fine so far.

Is there some type of disease that clams get?? Anyone have any ideas?

post some pictures, it could be so many things, impossible to say without seeing them.

I guess I'm basicaly wondering if there is some type of disease that could be transported from the lfs tank to mine.

Here's my crocea 10/28:

And this is how it looked for the last few days:

Going throught the same thing, lost 4 so far.Maxiums not doing well either. The clams on the sand bed are fine, Gigas, Squamosa, Derasa.

the proximity to the coral and anemone could definitely be having a negative impact on the clam, could you move him away from stinging corals / inverts?

what is you fish / invert list??

what and how do you dose??

can you list your parameters?

I totally agree with the above!
