life's a beach
I'm not sure how it happened, but I saw some filaments hanging from my clam about a week ago. Three days ago I found it flipped up on it's back. There were still some parts clinging to the rock, but the majority of the foot was detached. It's been in this tank in the same spot for almost a year now. Nothing major has happened in the tank and no additions for the past 3 months.
When I flipped it back foot down, the clam reacted as normal but did not close completely. The two sides felt loose and unconnected too. I figured for sure it'd die. But today it's looking the same as always. Every day I've checked it and it always reacts to shadows.
IS there a chance it'll recover? When will I know when I need to pull it? My tank is skimmerless so I really don't want it rotting away in there while I'm at work for 12 hrs.
Thanks guys.
