As the title suggests - as of today, my normally fully expanded clam is not looking so hot.

Todays Parameters:
Salinity - 1.025
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 0.2
Calcium - 380
Alkalinity - 11.2
Magnesium - 1260
Temp - 79F

I dosed a bit to bring up the Ca to 400, the Mg to 1320.

Here's a picture from a few weeks ago:


And now today:



Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help!!!
 
sorry to see that, it looks like on its way out. what kind of light do you have? has it been showing any growth at all?
 
It's been in the tank for about 1 1/2 years, good growth and expansion. Lights are AI Sol Blues set to 45w/65b/65rb about 12" above water on a 120. everything else in the tank looks great
 
He's a goner unfortunately.

I just lost one myself that I had in my tank about the same length of time you had yours.

It sucks you cant do anything once a clam's health starts to deteriorate.
