Hi everyone
I finally managed to get my hand on hippopus clam ! However my problem is my sand is filled with spaghetti worms ( typical red ones ) will I still be ok to place it in my substrate
Thanks

Spaghetti should not bother it. They’re interested in uneaten food and detritus
Do watch for little tulip shaped snails known as pyramids which will take them down

How's your hippopus doing? Any pics? I really dig these clams and they are super hardy.
