dying oyster in SPS tank

[mUAr_cHEe]

as my main concern is my SPS... so therefore i posted it here...

ive got a rather huge oyster in my SPS tank....

i think it is dying as the mantle is receding in... and the 'meat' is appearing smaller and smaller....

should i just leave it in the tank... and hope it is not dying but will recover eventually??? or should i take it out... and just let is die like that?

dying oyster will definately foul the water. From your descrption it seems the fellow is not gonna make it.

dunno about you, but my Dersa has pulled that stunt with me twice already (had it since april last year), but always open fully after 3-4 days then as if nothing happen - its still going strong...but then its a clam not an oyster....

if you have a stable Hospital tank you might want to move it there for observation, anyway oyster don't need intense lights...

better pull it out quickly and put it in a hospital tank...

dun try your luck...when its dead it will really foul the water

How about adding some tabasco sauce and lemon juice while still fresh...?

Just joking...
