OK, the hippo seems to have stopped nipping at the clam mantle but the clam is still not opening. Just to refresh the history of this. Added a crocea on Saturday, he was opened but not fully and he fully opened up on Sunday. Came home on Monday to find Franken Tang nipping at the mantle and the clam was closed up. Came home yesterday to find the clam still closed up and the hippo was not bothering him. Clam is on the substrate with a piece of LR burried underneath him. Flow is good and he is getting ligthing under 250 DE MH. Checked water parameters and they all seem in check.
I know that being closed up for a clam is bad but is he doomed or at what point do I say there is no hope.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
