Hi
I recently bought 3 clams about 12 days ago they seem to be doing well but one here is a picture from past Friday
But then since past Sunday one began to retract a small part of the mouth area mantle and the one that doesn't seemed happy still looks the same, i started to think that this could be pinch mantle but I need help to confirm it is so I take them to FW dip, I really don't want to lose any of them since it's pretty hard to get them here.
This one was opening pretty good since it arrived but now it's like this
This one looks like this since day one, it was fully covered of aptasias I thought I was just irritated, cleaned it but has been like this forever I'm starting to think its pinch mantle
And this is the third it seems to be okay along with the small first clam I introduced long ago
