| Re: Safest way to remove a clam
if cutting them was with clean scissors, think hospital clean, they shouldn't be having too much stress from being cut. Thats why I don't like using that method but sometimes it's all you can do. If the clam is still not extending it's mantle as normally then I would wait before adding the stress of moving them to a different water body. I think if you wait for 5-7 days you should be ok. Be sure to watch for any discolored tissue{byssal gland} as that would indicate an infection. |
