My prize ultra ultra ultra clam!!!!! Tonight after cleaning up the puke and so forth from my sick lil one, I come out to look at the tank; low and behold the clam is having a fit, randomly violently closing, So I figure I would sit there and watch for a while. Well when the sea swirl comes around, one of the tentacles touch the mantle of the clam and it violently closes. This is good enough indication for me!!!! So I go in search of a new razor blade. I had not decided if we were going to do the manual BTA split or if we were going to move the clam yet! Anyhow after searching high and low, the only razor blade i can find is an old rusty one, So I grab the clam to see how firmly it is attached. This was going to be the deciding factor for which one gets sliced and diced!
It came off in my hand, one remaining thread holding it on, Turn it over and the whole basal gland it out, I am assuming it was getting ready to jump. Anyhow, I moved it to the other side of the reef. So now the BTA has commandeered over 70% of the tank. The only thing left on it's half is the brown monti cap. I guess the next decision is what to do with the tube anemone, because he has obviously not been happy since the BTA moved in.
I wish it would just split so I do not have to worry about it! Every source I read says they do not get much over 14" now we are over 20" Also if I do not feed it everyday it expands to maximum which puts the purple monster in jeapordy. I need to make it's life tough! Dang thing is too happy!
