lanman October 6, 2008 Share October 6, 2008 No clue... it's been in there - in the same place for about 8 months. It was fine one day... a little more 'open' that usual the next day, but nothing I was concerned about. On the third day - it was just a mass of jelly. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind October 6, 2008 Share October 6, 2008 Sorry to hear the bad news. Did you happen look on the shell for any pests such as Pyramidellid snails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveller7 October 6, 2008 Share October 6, 2008 Hmm, if you dont see any tiny snails(pyramids) attacking your astreas then you may have one of these around: http://www.reefaquariumforum.com/show-me-w...like-t2534.html Flatworms, the big ones can wipe out a clam overnight and leave a jelly mess.

Coral Hind October 6, 2008 Share October 6, 2008 Do you have a conch snail in your tank? Mine killed two clams before I figured out what was going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefmontalvo October 6, 2008 Share October 6, 2008 I had a Derasa for about nine months. I found out I had to clean of water and the poor thing starved to death from lack of nitrates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanman October 6, 2008 Author Share October 6, 2008 sorry to hear about your clam. was it the electric green crocea you got from me? Yes!! Nicest clam ever! Sorry to hear the bad news. Did you happen look on the shell for any pests such as Pyramidellid snails? It was sitting on a large square frag plug on the sand. Never saw any snails around it. It was right up front center of the tank, where I could keep a good eye on it.

I haven't seen any large polyclads - but I'll have to start putting a flashlight to the tank more often. Do you have a conch snail in your tank?

I could not believe it was still in there at least 6 months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
