What are clams most sensitive to?

[SINNERMF]

Well I am starting to contemplate tearing down my tank..... Came home from work today, and found one of my Maximas and my big Derasa dead!!!!!!! I just target fed my little clams last night and fed the rest of the system phyto. The only thing I could come up w/ was about a week or so the Cleaner Shrimp I had was picking on my Derasa and it aoppeared that the mantle was injured. Any clues as to what could have happened???

Thanks for your time,
Mike

How big was the deresa , I have noticed that clams get iritated when the water is cloudy after I use dt's , make sure that the clams aren't getting choked are over-feed. I've seen my squamosa get annoyed by the overfeeding of suspended food and close or reseed its mantle for a couple hours.
