clam care

Got 2 new clams from Saltwater Aquarium. One derasa one crocea. The Derasa looks fantastic, but the crocea looks very stressed. It is receiving 250-320 par for about 10 h and does react to light. Also, it attached itself in about 5 minutes, so I assume it likes where it’s at. Is there anything...

Hello! I'm a new clam dad and I recently picked up this Derasa clam about 3 days ago. I love this thing to pieces but I noticed its Incurrent Siphon has been gaping the past two days... I've been watching it like a hawk to make sure it didn't show any other signs of unhappiness but I can't...

I am thinking about a crocea or maxima clam for my 16 gallon biocube when my tank is established. I have some questions. 1) Which is easier to care for? 2) Could I even be able to put one in my biocube?
