Hi,
I hope someone can help me. I have a large Derasa clam that needs urgent care. An aiptasia has managed to get inside the shell, and Chowder has closed up and won't open. It's been about 3 days. I'm afraid he is going to die. I tried toothbrushing and picking with a pointy plastic object to get the aiptasia out. The problem now is that the clam is closed. Is it safe for me to open him and try again? I don't want to damage him. Poor Chowder, I feel so bad for him. He really has character and I don't want to lose him.
Thanks for your suggestions!
