Safest way to remove flat worm from clam?

[jbird0420]

Can i use reef dip? Or keep him in the tank that's being treated with FlatWorm exit? I plan on setting up a QT for the livestock, but I want to remove the worms on his outer shell. Thanks for the help!

i'd go with a freshwater dip. however i'd wait for someone with more experience to chime in.

Tagging along.

I've got a clam that's been in a fishless tank for about 6 weeks (ick control). Before he gets moved to the main display are there any standard dips or treatments recommended to eliminate any nasties?

You could just take the clam out and brush off the shell and dip it in fresh water for a minute. Just be sure that the clam is entirely closed up. You should brush off your clams shell before you place them in your tank.
