Hi Everybody,
I really need some help. :help: I have a clam on my sandbed, don't know the name. Anyway, for the last three days it's mantle has slowly been shrinking inside it's shell. The shell is open an inch or so, but the mantle is getting smaller and smaller. Is my clam dying?
Is this a sign? My husband thinks that is what is happening, but I thought I would check with these message boards to be sure.
Also, if it is indeed dying, should I just remove it now?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
