Maximas

[pwoller]

Someone help me, I have 4 clams. The 2 croceas are looking great however the 2 maximas all of a sudden stopped opening up. They are all next to each other and the maximas were looking great 2 weeks ago. Now the maximas are not looking good, they hardly open up at all. I pulled the 2 of them out and looked for pyramidual snails, sp.? I found a couple small snails and scraped them off. What should I look for? How should I treat them?

manual removal is the only effective method. starting with daily inspections and removal of snails and egg masses, slowly decreasing frequency as you get the problem under control.

good luck and keep us posted.
