Typer, what are your water perameters (SG, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, calcium, alkalinity, whatever you can furnish)? What size tank do you have? How long have you had it? What is your setup (i.e. lighting, filtration, inhabitants, etc.) What kind of clam do you have? How long have the clam and coral been in the tank?

The answers to these questions may help to narrow down what is causing problems.

Thanks!
