is my clam ok?

[Prestomagic17*]

My Maxima clam just sits moderately open and doesnt react to quick light change. However it does react to plankton feeding; opening and shutting. im worried I bleached it. My perameters are fine. not to sure on lighting though. Running a tuna blue Kessil, and the clam sits almost didectly under it.

Not reacting to light changes is not optimal, especially for small clams.

The feeding behavior sounds like the clam is getting too much food in its gills and it’s trying to expel water to clear them.

Can you post a pic. I would stop feeding the clam for now.

There is a clam thread on here you might benefit from?

Before you get another one maybe you should check out this thread where they discuss clams?
