I just got a new Derasa clam in the mail this morning, 3-4" long. I have the bag floating in my dt, and did not intend to quarantine it since I've read they are difficult to keep alive in qt. However, on inspecting it through the bag I can easily see an aiptasia - haven't taken a closer look yet to see if there are more or other parasites. Knowing that there is at least one aiptasia though definitely makes me want to qt this guy. I have a bare bottom qt, 10g, with these bulbs: Coralife Energy Savers ACL54210 50/50 Mini Compact Bulb, 20w. I have only been using the tank for fish, and currently have a 2-3" Kole tang in the qt. What should I do? Would the clam survive long enough in that tank to ensure there are no other parasites? Thanks for your help!
