| Hello to everyone. I am making my first post and am needing some help. yesterday I was looking at my Blue crocea clam and noticed that it had a hole developing at the bottom of its shell on one side. It is on my live rock towards the top of my tank. This hole is almost perfectly round and looks like it has not yet gone all the way through yet. What could this be and what should I do? Please help? Thanks, Sooner Reefer |

| Anyway -- A little hole in your clam might indicate that there are parasites on your clam. There are several species of boring snails that will slowly bore a hole in the clam and "suck out its blood." You have to be careful and this is a good example of why a quarantine tank is so important. You can watch for pesky little critters that could really destroy your main tank. PS Welcome aboard -- LOL with your tank |
