Clam Predators?

[CoryDude]

I've personally had a common live rock crab pull a 4" crocea clean from it's shell during the broad daylight. My wife witnessed the incident and still talks about how "disgusting" it was. Have you looked around your tank at night to see if anything unwanted hitchhiked it's way into your tank. Just a thought.

I still think it was that darn hermit crab. He's done some extensive damage in the past, I really should have gotten rid of him long ago, but for some reason I didn't.

I actually picked up another crocea on Saturday, before I posted this thread up, because I figured it had been the hermit crab and I had since gotten rid of him. So far nothing has bothered the clam, the flame angel hasn't even touched him, I've been closely watching.

Hate to say it, but I would say it was the angel over the hermit. As stated above, it probably cleaned up the mess that the angel made. Hermits are scavengers not assassins.

Yeah, I'm now "clamless". Imperator the likely problem. SOB.
