Pinched mantle

I still see some of the left, second fold up from the bottom. Probably worthwhile to dip again.

Muuuuch better!

thank you. and this was not fully happy either as I had to block the light behind the camera to get the photo. this is a very reactive clam. and I love the contrast with the corals below it.

The fireball near it has been rapidly growing. hopefully it will stay away.

Goofy clam. It decided to jump off the top. Maybe I'll see how it does on the bottom glass away from all annoying others. It was open and happy down there. I should have plenty of light for it. When do they begin to stop the byssal threads?

I'm kinda happy it jumped down because looking at your last pic that RBTA is awfully close to it!!

With a Deresa, you're long past that point.

Not sure skins is still around but I think I remember him saying you can stick carbon and an extra air stone to help alleviate the PM. I've only dipped a clam once and was stressed about it the whole time. Not sure I'd do it again.
