need pics of flatworms

[unbreakable]

that prey on clams. also if anyone has any pictures of them while theyre eating away at the clam from underneath. i think i found out why my clams have died but not sure yet

i just noticed something on my small maxima clam from underneath, but i cant identify it. its away from the threads and its a little black and tan like the tissue inside of a clam, but it bulges out a little. i just want to make sure this is part of the clam and not some predator that might end up getting away

sounds like it. here's a thread with a few pics ( i can't find the pics i had ), click the first link

if your in doubt, post a pic. if you think it is then yank it and terminate the ugly beast !!!!

i have a thread started on clamsdirect but i dont know, its really hard to judge what this is because it doesnt move at all.

heres the link: http://www.clamsdirect.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2534

ill go ahead and do this tomorrow with my camera phone, but i notice when i take it out it just kind of sinks back in into the clam

it sounds like its a chunk of threads but why they are green i dont know

 

[unbreakable]

theyre not green theyre like black blotches and dots. just kind of paranoid since i lost the other two clams within a few days of each other. i keep checking my parameters and nothing is the range where i would suspect anything

sponge maybe???
