clam

I'm curious, if I feed my fish clams on the half shell will they end up eating my Live Tridacna/Hippopus as well?

I've had a 2" Maxima I purchased off divers den for about ten days now. I had initially placed it on the rockwork and it opened up. A few hours after I noticed it was not open as much. Ever since then it hasn't fully extended its mantle. I do have a yellow longnose butterfly, but have not seen...

Hi Reef2Reef, I've had this squamosa clam for about 8 weeks in my quarantine and I've been battling pyramid snails there ;Inpain The thing is, I can't move the clam to the display before the pyramids go extinct, which will not happen for a few more weeks (or longer) while the clam is growing...

My trochus snail is attached to the underside of the clam's mantle. It's been there for a few hours. The mantle is extending normally. Should I just leave them alone, or do something so that the snail can't climb onto the clam again? By the way they are newly bought and are still in the quarantine.

It will be coming up on a year now since i GOT him from Reef-A-Palooza in Orlando. Currently in the process of doing an upgrade to a SCA 150. If you want something to make your tank pop, add two of these on each side of the tank!

I have the aquatic life hybrid fixture with 4 t5 bulbs (ati blue plus) and two radion G3 xr30s. It is the 4 foot fixture over a 130 gallon 5 ft tank. I dont have access to a par meter, and I dont live close to a lfs that rents them. I would rather not purchase one, so I wondered if any of you...

Current FTS - 20.11.2017 Background : I’ve been a fan of Reef tanks for ages but always was afraid to start one myself so I kept myself busy with freshwater tanks. After reading a lot about them, especially this forum, I decided to start my first Nano Reef. My initial plan was to start...

Hey, I don't see a thread for comparing clam prices across different locations and times of year. Hopefully we can get some pics and prices posted here just to get an idea of what these sexy mollusks go for. And possibly have an expert confirm that they are even labeled properly. Local LFS in...

Over the past few weeks my clam has slowly been bleaching. The original spot was very very small but now covers two ruffles of the mantle. Also the parts that are bleached are pulled in. After reading a bunch there was only one article that seemed to have an answer, the cause being an infection...

My maxima clam's mantle appears to be rotting in two spots. It's a blue clam and the areas turned white a few days ago and now the flesh is looks like it's rotting. The clam is pulling in the ruffles with the afflicted area. I can't find anything online that looks like what the clam has. Any...

Hey everyone, Do you think that a crocea clam could survive with an Ai Prime if I place it fairly high in the tank? I know that they require more light than other clams but they would all outgrow my tank. Any suggestions?

Looking to trade beautiful healthy Maxima clam (~ 1.5") with blue and purple mantle. Looking for some nice corals and multiple frags - pm me.

My wife got me a Derasa clam for my birthday last March. She meant well, but I have a bare bottom tank so I was a little nervous. It was attached and sitting well on an oyster shell. About 6 months ago, it detached and it ripped its byssal threads. It was on the bare bottom for awhile but...

Anyone had experience with large leather causing things to get mad or die inexplicably in their system? I had an 'event' last week that correlated with a water change although no swings were measured. *Even temperature. I noticed some viscous bubbles in the sump that looked like someone spit...

Looking for a big clam for a big empty spot in the tank, must be able to ship unless in the MD/DC area.
