Ultra Crocea Clams Spawning

Well,

As you know, my clams were dying one by one due to whelk snails in the tank. I had to move my clams to another tank before they are all gone. I called up Journey at 8:00 AM that day and he came over and pickup all my clams out of my tank since no one was home except for my parents. I didn't bother to ask him how the clams are doing. The next day, he calls me up saying the largest clam is spawning some white stuff. Follow by a small clam and then the rest of the clams.

Since I went to the Next Wave and listen to the ORA speaker, I felt that I knew what had caused the clam to spawn. ORA takes the clam out and let it sit for 15 mins outside of the water. This stresses out the clam when place back into the water causing the clams to spawn.

I figure that was the caused from moving from one tank to another. I just hope Journey tank will be ok.
 
Yep they can muck up the water real quick with a stress related spawn. I would tell him to adjust the skimmer to wet level and do some water changes until things clear up.

I hope all your remaining clams end up okay, tri. I recently lost a gold maxima and was not excited.
