We have balanced and stable water conditions [knock on wood] but a friend noticed that our clam has receded and no longer brings his mantle over the edge of shell. We have a Valentini [?] puffer who has been seen nipping at this and other things quite often. He is not supposed to do much puffing either but is nipping clam and ...puffing aa couple times a day. I have read that certain fish will damage the mantle and kill the clam.
Some web info says that if nuisance fish is removed clam can come back from this, some say he is toast. I seem to get good help here and love this Colorado only sight - which is why I joined it. Anyone have any thoughts on this snafu on this cold snowy mutha's day ?
Thanks,
Jody
