    When I got my clam from an online vender it had little white spots on it.I thought it was just the way the clam looked but now the clam looks really bad.Came home from work today and there is a large hole on the bottom side of him where his foot would be.He never did attach himself or seemed to make an effort.Do I just need to remove it and call it a day?It's a corcea clam.Thanks in advance.

    Pic would help. Otherwise, check pyramid snails at night, check if there is any air bubbles trap, move it to sandbed if it is on the rock.

    I would love to get a pic but I just went downstairs to look at the tank with the lights off and the clam is now laying on its side covered in nassrius snails.I'm sure it is dead now.:-/

    I'm sorry to say but I got it from a 3reef sponser.I originally thought that they had nice stuff a a good price but I ordered an LTA-got a BTA,orded some acros-got red bugs, and ordered a couple of clams now I got an empty clam shell.Just aggravating.:angry:
