Is my clam healthy?

[Christine12138]

Hi guys, I’ve just got my first clam today and want to ask a question. I saw my clam not all covered it’s shell like what I circled with red highlight, is that normal? It respond quickly if I’m moving it or some fish touches it.

water temp? salinity?

0 nutrients could lead to other issues down the road. since you got the clam today, give it time to acclimate. continue monitoring it and your water parameters. try to dose phyto daily, or every other day.

24 degree, salinity 1.025
I’ve been dosing phyto today already but will dose it everyday. I tried feed the tank twice a day hoping my No3/Po4 goes up but it doesn’t work ;(

Yeah just test it 2 hours ago with hanna and redsea testers. I test it everyday All other corals seems happy. I bought it online just find out its looks like that at the web also just dont know its healthy or not (

What vendor?

 

[SlugSnorter]

could we get more direct photos of the clam? also, spot feed the clam phyto. It is better to have "live" phyto. work on raising nitrates, do you have any chemicals in your system? (carbon, Chemipure, Etc)
