Re: Clam Help?

if you can post some answers to the questions we can try to help. Clams that are continously puffing like this are very unhappy. But not knowing what species of clam we can't help.. The water params may be off, the clam could be getting way too much flow. It should not be doing this but can't help without some info. If this would happen to be a crocea clam sand getting into it's gills can kill the clam.
