Is the clam new to the system? Does it have any algae on the shell? Are you sure it is not ailing? Tangs don't normally bother clams! How long has this behavior been going on?

Just outta curiosity, have yout tried moving the clam to a different loocation if possible?

IMO, if it's a gorgeous clam than ixnay the PBT. If it's an not so special clam than ixnay the clam IF your PBT is healthy and thriving. Your next PBT may not fair as well this one. We all know their reputations in regards to ICH so if yours is doing well & the clam is nothing special than it makes it that much easier to decide.

I don't know if this will work but it's worth a try especially if it works....

For a couple of days or so, if you can, put your clam in your fuge & then put it back and see what happens. It's really strange if there's no algae growing on the clam that he'd even bother it.

LOL funny post on using the clam as bait but I wish it was that easy it don't pick at the clam like that to be honest I have only see it pick at the clam 3 times total

Juggernot very funny I told u not to get that flame but no I pint it they are sexy and now u don't like it anymore and u want it out. LOL and by the way this powder brown is ur fault u remember I want an achilles tang u saying get the pbt it almost the same at only half the price now I think u should come and help me catch it

And by the way if this net /trap theory tdon't work by now and the weekend it time to go old school( some beers ) fishing pole and a worm or ill just shoot it with a dark gun and call it day
