XrayGuy Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I have a 5-6" maxima clam that is doing great, but I noticed a little bit ago that my midas blenny crop dusted near the clam with some sand and it kind of looked like a grain or two may have gone in the inlet siphon hole (the mouth) of the clam. Is there anything that I need to do to try to get that out of the clam or will the clam try to expel the grains or what? I have been unable to find ANY information about this online anywhere.

Ninjabeaver Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 my diamond goby is always dropping sand on my clam, and I haven't noticed anything unusual, I think it can shoot them back out if they fall in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVPaquatics Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 It should work it out. And if not you may get yourself a pearl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XrayGuy Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Ok thanks guys! My leopard wrasse just went to sleep in the sand right next to the clam too and made a sandstorm when it dove in. This must be annoying for the clam :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rworegon Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Think about waves and tides in the ocean. Clams are built for it. No worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XrayGuy Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Think about waves and tides in the ocean. Clams are used to it. No worries. Ah yes that makes sense. I suppose in the wild they probably get dusted all the time with tides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVPaquatics Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Probably won't be as pretty as an oyster pearl but s pearl no less. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
