help! last night i got a millipora and i was temp acclimating it. and the bag had come loose and was blown around by powerheads a little. apparently it went strait in my clam and the clam closed shut on it. i had not realized it at first because there was too much surface aggitation to look down and see, but when i pulled the bag away, the crocea and the small rock it is on came with it!!!!!
then today i see there is a small tear in the mantle. the clam is open and appears to be okay, but the tear is about 3/4s of a cm. so it is pretty small. i am assuming it can recover form this, but am not sure. i know the tearing of the byssas threads can be bad if done too close, but im not sure about the mantle.
help!
and thanks.
 
thanks. that is what i had thought. i knew it wasnt as bad as the foot, but thought i should ask in case it was disasterous
thanks for your help!
