Squamosa Help!!
Time for story by picture...
Man in my community selling 8" clam, I meet him for pick up, put it into heatbox in car as its -40'c outside, at styrafoam box with heatpacks.. get home, check it, slightly pulled back, put lid on, put in tank floating to acclimate water..  acclimating and slowly adding water to get it used to my parameters... left lid on so I wouldnt shock it..  once lights are out, put it in tank, has no negative reactions.. check 2 hours later, still fine.. go to bed, wake up.. look at it, still fine.. go to work for 12 hours.. come home to this..  very very retracted into shell.. stuff spewing out the back...  its really pulled back and I can see crap in its mouth up front that doesnt look happy.. checked parameters.. everything looks to be in check.. nothing else in the tank seems affected.. all the zoas are good, leathers are good with good polyp extension, sps is fine, frogspawn is happy and hammer is happy.. What do I do if anything!!
