Another rescue clam.
Well, in my friends tank, since his yellow tang's favorite meal has been removed (the derassa clam from earlier) the yellow tang found a new thing to feast on, his Gigas clam.
My friend has tried putting the clam in different places (basically trying to hide it from the tang) but it has not worked, so before the clam could actually die, I got it.
I brought the clam home last night, and when I got to my house I was surprised to find it sucked a full inch inside it's shell, but it's shell was not closed. It had no reaction to me touching it, being out of the water, the acclimation process or the light which is not a good sign. This morning it looked a little better, mantle in a bit more natural position for lights off, but I am still worried. Hopefully it will come around and re-build the damaged parts of it's mantle, repair the bleached spots in it's mantle, and the little damage to the edge of it's shell but only time will tell.
Visually this Clam doesn't look as bad as the derassa did, nowhere close, but the way it is acting has me allot more worried than the derassa did.
