AcanLord Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 So my Maxima hit its 1 month mark yesterday and is looking great. So I went to Petco with a buddy to get some dog food and saw that they had just gotten a Derasa clam. They have 1 white and 1 blue t8 light and I knew it wouldn't be enough. I went back the next day and they didn't even have the lights on. "We got a new coral shipment and didn't want to stress it so we left the lights off." Anyways, I got the clam cuz I couldn't see letting it die. I had some rewards points built up so I got the clam for $45 I'm pretty excited and this morning it looked pretty happy. It's mouth wasn't open much but I'm sure it's still a little stressed being that it was just shipped then brought to another tank. Funny story: my friends tank is crashing due to him overloading it with livestock. He a had a aptasia eating filefish that had the coolest personality (but looking back, I'm sure he was the problem as to my friends zoas dying) anyway, I brought this fish home and stuck him in my 20L and he seemed to love it. About 30 minutes later my dad shows up to say hi and I went to show him the clam and noticed the filefish had his nose pinched in the clam and was upside down. I freaked out and called Jodi from TECO and he said you're going to have to pull the fish out. So I did. Took about 5-7 pounds of force at least. I felt so bad for the filefish but that's life in the ocean. I stuck him in my hospital tank and fed him and he immediately ate pellets. I traded him to Jodi for a zoa frag. The clam has a clear bite mark but seems to be just fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcanLord Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 No pics of him stuck? No, I went to pull him out then thought I should take a pic but my hands were already wet and I couldn't get my phone to get to the camera app. Plus I felt bad that I wasn't hurrying to rescue him so I stopped and saved them from each other.
