Qchan Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Can someone help identify the problem with my clam? It was ok the night before and opened nicely. Tonight i jus checked and it looks quite out of shape. It only retrives back to its shell upon touch. Not reacting to shadows and don't think it can see shadows the way it is covered up. Anyone with the same experience please advise thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dispar_Anthias Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Your clam is suffering from severe pinch mantle...... Hmm IMo there snothing much you can do.. try fresh water dip but the condition of your clam now is very weak and it may not take the stress from the dip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
