We've lost two clams - a derasa and a crocea in the past week and a half due to Nassarious snails eating them from the bottom up. Strangest thing - we've never had this problem before.
They seem to decide to swarm on an otherwise perfectly healthy clam, eat them from the open spot at the point where the shell halves join and the clam is dead within 10-20 minutes.
Two beautiful clams lost. I'd like to find a way to remove all the Nassarius fromt he tank if I could, but that doesn't seem likely since they're buried in the sand.
I have one beautiful large clam left and don't want to lose it.
Any ideas why this would happen and what to do about it?
