is there a coral or something that we can't see off to the side that could be stinging the clam?

can you post a pic from the top?

 

[mbbuna]

one typical symptom of PM is an upward and inward curling of the mantle, and thats not what your clam is doing.

the last photos you posted the clam looks pretty good.

can you get a few more photos of the clam and whats around it?

try not to get so close and i think the photos will be clearer

 

[mavgi]

the light in the tank now off , i will try to make photo from top of it tomorrow morning.

i don't have any coral in my tank just 2 clam .

it's look like the mantle curling down not up .

the clam sit on the top i will try to move the rock to the front and to get better picture tomorrow.

that just looks like mechanical injury, that is healing. looks ok. no stinging corals? what about fish?

 

[mavgi]

jmaneyapanda : fish are healty and look great even my mandarine pregnant . it's just once my Scott's Fairy Wrasse bite this clam 3 time .

That wrasse bit your.......

 

[jmaneyapanda]

If the fish is biting at your clam, watch the clam closely. If you see it biting it, it might be biting it 1000 more times when your not looking. You may eventually need to remove one or the other. Otherwise, I think it looks OK.

 

[mbbuna]

i think the clam looks pretty good over all. i can see how one side of the mantle is extended more then the other but that could be from flow or the position of the clam and the light.

 

[mavgi]

thank you all for the help.

i already take the wrasse out from the tank . he was very nice and big one but also nasty one
