Thought I would seek opinions.
I have a well established 214gal mixed sps/lps.
Parameters all good (recent results from awt.com) pH 8.1
temp 78.
I bought two clams a 3.5" crocea and a 6.5" squamosa and went in the tank a week ago.
They were acclimated appropriately and placed at bottom of the tank. 26" deep. Tank has two 400w 14K ushios and actinics.
I was going to move the crocea up, but didnt get the chance, overnight has died. Squamosa still doing well. I also have a small derasa that has been in there a couple of months and is doing well.
Only thing I noticed yesterday that it was spontaneously opening and closing repeatedly without stimulus.
Here is pic from 3 days ago:
Any thoughts??
