Clam Help!

[QUIG]

Got my dersa clam a few weeks back and has been doing good. Came home today and it looks ripped. Is this something that will heal or is it doomed?

what fish do you have ? looks like someone has a taste for clams ( most fish do ) Trick is to feed them a ton and keep them from finding out . Once they do they won't stop . But you may be able to save the clam . its a long shot but if you can put the clam in your fuge or something with adequate lighting for that clam and then put a 2 liter bottle over it with Phyto Basicly squirt in phyto and let the clam eat it then remove the bottle it will help

Niger trigger, 2 blue throat, a melanarus wrasse lamarck angelfish

my blue throat would of demolished my clams, I fed him diced clams, good thing he's in my basement sump, just my 2 cents but you have 3 triggers, they would be my prime suspects

Ok I put white plastic light grating over it with one open side I hope it helps it's still alive and responding to movement over it

Jeez I feel like any one of those fish could potentially pick at a clam. I've heard of both melanarsus and lemarck picking at mantels though I've not seen it 1st hand.

Yea I'm hoping I can stop it

Ok my girlfriend spotted the fish while I was at work yesterday. It was my splendid dotty back I can't catch it but built a cage over the derasa clam. My squamousa is still untouched

I'd still feed them a little more so their appetite doesn't tempt them to take a nip at the squamousa
