hi, just throw away a half dead clam..

when i pick it up, i saw blood worm (many many many) all crawling inside the clam...

this causes the clam to reside and eventually die off...

they are all crawling inside the flesh and i assume eating the clam inside out...

any ways to kill them or prevent my other precious clams from eaten away...

heartpain when i see all the clams die due to these pest attacking them...

thx you

putting a stone underneath them doesnt help...

the clam probably already died and the worms are just scavenging.

the worms i'm guessing are tiny bristle worms and they are beneficial in helping to eat up dead or uneaten food.

your clam died from other reasons.

bristle worms are poorly understood and are sadly, always accused for the wrong reasons because they are just cleaning up at the scene of the crime.

maybe you want to check other reasons why your clams are dying?
