Came home today to find the clam like this :
I got the clam 2-3 day's ago. Accimalted it using the drip method for approx 2.5-3 hrs. Clam was open yesterday. Today morning when I woke up, i noticed that the powerhead for my HOB fuge had come loose, hence water from the fuge came out. I though, ok, nothing bad. Then saw the temp's dropped down to 73*. My heater stays in the HOB and hence water went cold
SImply attached it back, and hoped for the best. Returned from work right now and I see this. Also another thing I notice is, there is sand inside the clam and the area around the clam is "dug" . I am going to assume this to be the killer. The clown hosts in anthelia quite close to the clam. Could it have dug up sand and blown some into the clam ?
If anything, I moved the clam a little, its siphon still "works", and its obviously gaping BAD. Don't think it will make it, but
I checked my water parameter's as well just yesterday.
Amm : 0
Nitrite : 0
Nitrate : 5-10
Alk - 12dKh
Ca - 430
