So some of you know I like to share in my problems/learnings.....
In the last 2 days one of my 7 inch gigas clams that I have had for like 4 years started receding. I couldn't find anything wrong with the tank or water. In fact Mike was just here like a week ago looking at the tank. Tonight I get home and the clam is all curled up exposing 4 inches into its shell and looks dead. I take it out and it reacts and doesn't smell bad like dead clams usually have. I can see inside now and there is a 4 inch sps frag in the clam. I am not missing any frags, then I look at my larger colonies and I see a break in one. My guess is that one of my Tangs ( who have been fighting) broke it off and it rolled into the clam and irrated it really bad. While I don't think it will make it, I put it back in the tank. ( if you are wondering the frag looks fine.)
