My crocea appears to have detached or "let go" of it's byssus thread. I tried to grab the clam and see the underside, but it still felt attached to the rock, But I can clearly see part of the thread not attached to the clam... I have not noticed any large predators in the tank, and the clam has been in there since Oct. There is new growth on the shell and the mantle looks great, and it is opened as normal, but there is a chunk of "flesh" under is byssal opening. Anyone have any thoughts/ theories? No water parameters have changed, and the last livestock added was a small blue digitata frag... and a citron goby. that's all that's been added in the past 4 months....Any thoughts??? Maybe Barry knows? I will attach a picture tonight If nobody understands what I am talking about.
