Just did it on mine and he is not gaping anymore but it has not been that long. Took a long time to open and is still curled. Only dipped for 10 minutes. Holding my breath. :read:

ClamFan, I think it might be a good idea to email Barry at the clam forum personally. He is more than eager to help anyone with clam problems. He has a method for FW dipping clams and it's worked on lots of members clams.
I have not had to dip any of my "clamily" so far.
If he or someone at the clamforums have not gotten back to you I'll go over there and stir them up. I actually hadn't seen your post over there myself.

Thanks Sue. I posted it under Clam Emergency.

Just an update. The clam is still pinched. I have tried everything I can think of and am aproaching desperate. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them.

how big is the clam? what do you feed it? Clams below a certain size depend more heavily on feeding instead of photosynthesis.
You might try placing it in a small tupperware bowl with tank water and a good dose of live phytoplankton.
Also, talk to Barry as Sue mentioned - he also sells a special clam food there.

I am glad to report, that after freshwater dip, and quarintine, my squamosa is back to his old self again. He has attached himself to a rock in tthe qt tank that I set him for lighting reasons and will return to the display Friday if all is still well. Thanks for yalls help, I was starting to get worried.

Stupid ???, Was the clam and the lawnmower blenny in the same tank? I had to remove my Molly Miller Blenny because he nipped at the clam mantles. It looked like pinch. When I moved the blenny the clam got better.

Yes they were but I have watched very close for exactly that and havent seen him even perched near him and I have made sure that he has plenty to eat.

I never caught mine actually doing it. The pinch marks just match his mouth size. When I moved the blenny he started beating up my son's Fire Clown. So my wife set up a tank just for the blenny.
