Hey Mitch

Nice work with the clam. What lights are you running?
I was wondering what your gravel/sand is?
Diameter?
It looks terrific, yet at the same time suspiciously clean.
I want some. And i want to keep it that clean.

cheers
Todd :wink:

here is two really bad pictures of my clams. A derasa I have had years and a maxima going on two years with me now.

Nice clams, everyone!

Here's my deeply imbedded Crocea.

I want a clam....
All these pics aren't helping me any!

Reefnutz did you imbed the crocea you self or did it do this over time?

I have always wanted a Squamosa but am having a hard time finding a nice one.

Todd,

My lights are a Custom Sea Life prism pendant with a 250W 10k Ushio and two 28w PC actinic bulbs.

I have just fine sand in the tank. It has stayed very clean with the help of two fighting conchs.

I created the hole to be just large enough for a Crocea to reach adult size.

I once had a lovely Red Sea Squamosa that had blue dots. It also had 2 shrimp living inside. Soon as it grew too big for my tank, I sold to a LFS and it died a month later.

The title of this thread made me laugh real hard! Show me your "clam".

Emily,
Beautiful clams. Even your coralline is stunning! How big are those baby maximas?

Great looking clams.

Ya think I would be able to keep a squamosa or derasa under 130 watt PC's in a 29 gal.?

How much of your 130 watts is actinic? If it's at least half, than I would say yes. Keep in mind, these two species will require a lot of calcium/alk and will quickly outgrow a 29.
