Ive had my blue maxima clam for maybe a little over a month now, all was fine it looked great! until yesterday. I came home and it had completly turned itself and would open up about halfway for 5 or ten minutes then kinda lift its self up(while being closed) and turned some more.
I was no able to get on the ocmputer last night. I prepared a water change last night and did it this morning before I went to school. Came home, turned lights on and barely opens up, all my SPS corals look fine.
I lifted up the clam to try and put it back in the position it was doing well in and there was a white small muscle/tendon looking thing that appeared to be its foot. During this process I do no think I was the cause of the foot coming off. Could this have been from something in the sand? I can see directly through his mouth and see the sand.
Nitrates were barely noticable last night, that is no usual.
Today, after the water change, paremeters are:
nitrates-0
nitrites-o
my alkaliity was a little low, I had just added bionic.
ph-8.0-also a little low, Im thinking because of the water change.
calcium-480
