Pinched mantle
I recently added 3 small 3-5" clams to my aquarium which had my 2 very large existing clams 8"& 12" in a short 2 week period my 8" suddenly looked all curled up and then spawned ( all in the same day) the following day the clam was dead. All 5 clams were squamosa.
A breif description of my aquarium 300gl thriving sps dominated super shallow reef 6'×4'×12'
So I have some questions about this sudden death.
Does pinched mantle transmit from one clam to another?
How long does it normaly take to see signs?
Is a fresh water dip a preventitive solution or only used as a last ditch measure for sick clams?
