Has been struck by the ban stick
I came home today to find the shell of my maxima fully open, but the mantel mostly inside. Yesterday, the mantel wasn't out all the way. Today it seems much worse, with the mantel almost curled up inside of the shell. I have some pictures, and any help would be appreciated.
Tank: 90 Gallon
pH: 8.0
SG: 1.026
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrites: 0ppm
Nitrates: 2ppm
DKH:9
Calcium: 440 ppm
Temperature: 81º
Lighting: (2)48x3W Bridgelux dimable fixtures set to peak at 40%. Lights were upgraded on Friday, and the clam seemed indifferent. My second maxima is as happy as, well, a clam.
Well, never mind. As I was typing, the cleaner shrimp just swam over and started eating the thing. The clam is reacting in no way, and is now considered to be dead. Well, here are the pictures I took anyways, though I suppose at this point, they're a bit pointless. I guess the new question is this:
Do I leave the clam in as food for the CUC, or take it out. My skimmer is rated for 3X my gallonage, so I'm not worried about water quality.
Thanks everyone!
Happy clam six inches away:
