    It doesn't look that bad from the pic. I normally can see the filter elements inside my clams when there mouth is open. Hope it pulls through

    better yet, get a piece of rubble that is about 1.5X her size and put it on the sand then have her attach to that.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Bigger clams may no longer attach.

    Yeah that's a big clam. Probably why it fell off in first place.
    So is this case closed? It lived? Great news. You're lucky because usually doesn't end well. I have a thread in here about my maxima. I tried everything to save it and couldn't
