Here’s a huge threat to clam lovers. The Pyramidellid snail will hitch hike in on clams and snails, and will constantly feed on the fluids of their hosts. A small number of these parasite snails on your clam isn’t much to be alarmed about. However, these snails reproduce rapidly and will quickly become too much of a problem for the clam. The clam host will eventually die from this unless the aquarium keeper removes the snails.
