Almost any time i get a clam of Squamosa Species of higher (you guys know what i mean) they always seem to die for some strange reason. i've lost like 4 Crocea's and a Squamosa and one Derasa (the reason that one died is b/c my idiot brother shot microvert right into it's intake valve). The Crocea's will do fine for about a week and then suddenly die off. My Squamosa stayed alive for a good 3 months before biting the dust but it would never get it's color back from a dull brown no matter how high i put it in the tank. I was wondering what could kill clams like this. My pH is about 8.2-8.3, Specific gravity about 1.023, calcium levels at like 500 ppt., using a Red Sea Berlin protien skimmer, and have tons of coral that is thriving. Plz help b/c i'm afraid to waste my money on any more clams to have them die within a week
