my 3" teardrop opening just a little...

[bergzy]

maybe 1/2 inch. doesn't seem stressed out...just not opening.

i just got him for the past two days and have him at the bottom of the tank.

do teardrops only open a wee bit?

It tank a few days before a new clam adjust to a new condition and look their best. Show us a picture of him. He just travel 1/2 time around the workd from viet Nam to Ca. Give him a little time.
Here is my new Teardrop also. These two maxima open just about right, not over extended and not under extended.

he is in a weird hard to see orientation...

mihn...remember i posted a while back about one end my crocea receded and that a cleaner shrimp was digging in there?

well, as you may have read...the shrimp died the next da and the clams mantle has finally grown back to where it was.

so it is possible for a clam to heal after injury...i just think the chances of it are not very good...

Hello,
Minh, where did you buy your teardrop? How do you order teardrops from Vietnam? I'm looking for a colored td.

A friend who have a bunch send to me as a favor to me. He does not want to do this so I can't give his name out.
