Does my New Deresa Clam have PM?

[bobssecrtsn]

Hey Clam owners i just bought a clam from my LFS i researched on how to find a good clam, my lfs had it over MH it was mantle was fully open and it was not gapping, and i observed it for a week and it was doing good,


I bought my clam on Monday and float the bag and dripped acclimated it for 1.5 hours put the clam on the sandbed, its been almost 3 days already and the mouth looks open, and it might even look like its getting PM ( i do not know how PM looks only online, but never seen it personally)


i still believe its still stressed out and still acclimating from the lights/water, when i wave my hand over it does close.


now im thinking about removing the clam and doing a FW dip, but when i tried removing it the clam had already put his foot on the glass floor, i dont want to rip its foot. my main lighting is 6bulb ATI sunpower fixture, the par is about 250 at the clam..


So what should i do from here?

this is where it sits

its a crocea and its fine, the inhalent siphon will stay open when feeding, they are perfectly fine when they do this

Thanks! My stupid self was going to rip the leg and do a fw dip, luckily I went to the forums first!

Agreed, no pm and it's a Crocea. Never do a FW dip unless it's a last resort effort.
