- My wrasse eat live brine shrimp and formula II like the rest of the
- fish in my tank. It's hard to say whether you should move it or not.
- I have a lot of clams in my tank and the snails seem to attack only the
- one crosea that was fairly weak while the rest of the clams in my tank
- were snail free. I find that it is very important to place a clam where
- it can have a firm footing so it won't expand a lot of energy keeping
- itself upright. My weak clam didn't have a good footing. So only move
- yours if you can find a good place for it. The best way to spot snails
- is to wait until the light has been out for at least half an hour, then
- check the rim of the shell and the place where the clam stick its foot
- out with a flash light.
