Help with Clam

[Hirobo]

Hirobo,

Have you deduced what went wrong with the clam? Do you think you hurt him when you moved it or something else? Clams usually don't spontaneously die so was he withering away slowly from pests, etc?

no i dont know what happened. i really dont think i hurt him. he was doing good until i moved him closer to the lights. im sure it's the fact that my bulbs are so old

Old bulbs shouldn't be the cause. I'm curious why you would say that but more curious how your clam died. Sorry for the loss. I would investigate the cause before going for another though in case there are some pests that were attacking it.

before he was an empty shell, i looked him over and did not see anything on him. it's just weird that when i moved him up this is what happend.

Also the bulbs have got to be a year and a half old :

Secretive Wrasse is supposed to be a pretty good fish to get rid of them.
