ooh I don't, this is something I'll have to look into I guess the solutions I'm looking to solve currently are first, eradicating any that are remaining in my display where I don't turn over rock work and take rock work out to dip and scrub, that option doesn't work for me as my structures are...

lol I have gone down the rabbit hole that is Polyclad worms. my heart is devastated so I'm on a path of revenge lol so dipping with ReVive causes a pretty severe defense mechanism it seems, enough that it would fall off a frag for sure. However, it doesn't kill it or if there are eggs on the...

it's alive it unfurled from its ball of protective mucous

So since I have ReVive on hand, I figured I'd give it a go.... I don't know if its truly dead but it reacts pretty strongly so having it somehow get past the 15 min dip is bewildering. maybe it hitchhiked on the clam itself or maybe a turbo snail? since those didn't get dipped or quarantined

Thats my plan, I havent disposed of it yet as much as I would love to kill it with fire. I'll try some of the flatworm meds to see if it works too, but so far the google results aren't promising. the only thing ive read so far is someone (the reef2reef link I posted above) dipped their clam in...

I honestly have no idea. I don't have a quarantine setup but I've dipped all my frags in ReVive and have never seen any flatworms fall off. this thing is ginormous so I feel like theres no way I would have missed it. All my rock work I picked up as dry rock, from neptune and other reefers. The...

omg thats exactly it! thank you for this! I actually thought the clam ejected itself somehow at first because of the mantle like pattern @Kensington Reefer do you happen to know what the eggs look like?

Thanks! I introduced a couple turbo snails a few weeks back that didnt survive past 24/48 hours and chalked it up to it just the roll of the dice, but now I know why. I'm so upset, it's my first clam and I was so proud of being able to keep it successfully. I'm kind of a night owl so I always...

Well, I found my answer - https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/polyclad-flatworm-p-mopsus-the-clam-killer.106256/#:~:text=The%20Polyclad%20Flatworm%20(P.,guest%20in%20any%20reef%20aquarium.

Ugh it’s huge, I didn’t know clam eating flatworms is a thing! Do I need to treat my whole tank now?

So as I was walking by the tank this morning, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that my maxima clam didnt look right. it had this brown slime coating on it. last night it was perfectly healthy. so I frantically started googling - making it produced a mucous coating because something...

~180 maybe it wasn't enough

idk I think theres something about my water/lighting that it didn't like and not so much the frag workshop. The frag I picked up looked like it had healed well from the cut. Maybe I'll pick up another one and try again just for the sake of trying?

I'm no acro pro and I didn't think I'd come close to being in the top 15, but I didn't expect to be out before the week was over lol the calacali sitting next to it seems to be doing fine and I picked up a miyagi tort from the last members only frag swap that also seems to be doing fine. I'm...
