Hi all,
Bought the clams from LCK. Its' abt 2 inches and is sitting in the QT Tank. Discover a 'insect', light-tan icolour crawling on the clam. It kinda look like a bug???
I did some research but to no avail on the bug. Anyone with similar experience to share?? And most importantly, how to do kill the irritant? Thanks

okay will try. It seems that everytime i lift up the claim, it vanish. I try the FW dip method if it helps...
By the way, for newly acquired claims, i need to place it on the sand bed first? As i running T5 Tubes (1.5Ft Tank), Best position is to place it in the middle i suppose.....
