A lot of algae growth on Maxima???

[Gilbert50]

My maxima has been closed like this for 3 days now.

Water tested yesterday: dKH 10.5, Ca 540, Mg 1425, pH 8.1, sal 1.026, temp 83.3 F.

My question is the excessive growth of algae on the shell. Can I clean with a soft brush or just let it go?

Lol! As I was typing the clam has reopened! Looks much better...

Thanks for any help!

I would brush the entire shell with a soft toothbrush. Be careful around the mantle and the byssal organ/foot area.
