Pinched mantles any new treatment?

Moved on
It have been many years since I have a PM clam. Well I got one now in my30 cube with another clam in it. Years ago when I deal with this problem, I FW dipped the clam and move it to a new tank. This Maxima is still very small and may not tolerate FW dip well. Is there any other treatment? Have the offended organism been ID yet?
 
i don't think there's been a definitive identification of the protozoa yet. the preferred treatment is still to use a FWD but in persistent cases a dip with Metronidazole has been done with some success. the Metro dip is far more stressful on the clam so i would definitely try the FWD first.

HTH and good luck.
 
I dipped the clam yesterday for 1/2 hr. He is doing well and seem to recover well. Will see how it works. He is a very beautiful Black and white only 1.5 inches T. maxima. I have to take some picture when he recovered. Thanks
 
I treated him and he did well after a 30 min FW dip. Here is a picture of my newest B&W Maxima
