clams

How’s this clam look I picked it up from Petco for 33 after the sale… I know it’s a derasa clam I did some research as Petco had it for a week before I got it and I waited till it went on sale so I know that they can do highlighting just seeing if anyone can recommend any advice that may be...

Hi, I’ve had this clam for several months now and just recently noticed a bunch of these snails on my clam when the lights are off. Seems to only be on the clam and nowhere else, I can see maybe 8-10 of them. Clam is healthy and is growing really good. I’m sure they aren’t pyramid snails. Should...

I just recently bought a maxima clam and I heard that after you put them on the rock, you can’t remove it. I heard that it will damage the foot. Is this true? If it is, I also heard that you can buy a “hammock” for it to attach to so you can move it later on. I wanna be able to move it since I...

I have had my Copperband for 1 month now and am starting the think if what I am feeding is sustainable in the long term. Currently, I feed chopped clam, oyster and scollop which I push into cracks in a rock that is lowered into the tank with a piece of fishing line. The Copperband devours it...

I recently got an aquacultured ultra crocea clam about 3 weeks ago. The clam has been doing great however 5 days ago I notticed this one area of the mantle where it appears to curl over a little. The area still fully extends and there is no mucous discharge coming from the clam. To be honest...

Tank tear down. Last remaining corals for sale. Prices marked on photos. Prices negotiable. Located in Aubrey, but travel to Las Colinas several times per week.

I need some lighting pointers after being out of the loop for 5 years or so. We've moved from a 40B (16" height) Now setup a 120g Eurobraced Peninsula Current lighting consists of the following. 4 Kessil A150's, 10k Sky Blue color temp 10am to about 11:30am natural sunlight through high bay...

Umm...So I went to clean my skimmer sponge(outlet) the other day and noticed 2 or 3 small white clams. Does this mean something? Should I fix something? Or am I ok? They are white and about 1/4" wide. Tank is a almost 2 months old.

Happy Saturday (to most). I purchased 20lbs of deco live rock from gulfliverock.com which arrived on Thursday, thanks Dan! I'm loving it so far and I am excited by every new thing I see. If you have seen my other posts you'll notice I'm kind of a name junkie, so as you can imagine getting rock...

Pardon the unfamiliarity, my grandma gifted me some smallish (2-3 inch) pismo clams that she had bred in her tank, in hopes that I could raise a few of them on my own. She recommended quite a bit of heavy duty lighting equipment, but I'm tight on money and was wondering if there is a way I can...

So I got two babylon snails... What has everyone's experience been like with babylon snails. Have you had any problems with them... You know eating other things you didn't intend for them to eat? Also I initially didn't think I wanted clams... At least not yet, so I thought I'd be OK. But now...

Hi all, I found an Instagram account names clam mania and bought a clam during one of their live sales. I spend $99 plus $20 shipping in a 1.5 inch blue maxima. When my package arrived there were three clams in the package and none of them being the clam I chose in the live sale. I let the...

Just got my first clam. I tried to be wise and started testing for magnesium in addition to all other important parameters like calcium, phosphates and alkalinity. Levels are ideal. Placed clam at bottom of Fluval 32.5 marine, medium flow. Day one open but nervous. Question or best tips/tricks...

I have been trying to narrow down a livestock list for my tank, and another member on here mentioned the Cherub Pygmy Angelfish. I did some reading on them, and most livestock sites mention that 'It may nip at large-polyped stony corals and clam mantles' This seems to be almost the same copy and...

My goal down the line is to have either a Durasa or a Maxima clam. Would they be OK with AI Primes for lights, or better with Kessils (or something else)? I plan on having a 160 gallon FOWLR tank as a reference. Thanks!

Hey everyone just stumbled across a site selling these today. Cleaner clams "Mercenaria mercenaria and I was curious if anyone has any experience with them? I'd love to give them a shot in a reef tank

Thank you first off for reading and your possible help in this situation! I am getting a 125gal set up. Right now just going over some fish just so I can have a mock plan for the future. Will not be getting any fish till at least 2 months or more from now, as I will be doing a very deep clean...

Just got a great deal from them on an ultra gold maxima. I had no idea they did clams so I took the chance. They have a 100% arrive alive shipping so not worried about that. Has anyone else ordered clams from them? How did they look when you got them. They are all ORA and very well priced, I got...

I bought a maxima clam about 1.5in a week ago. Placed it in the sand bed. After trying to move it I felt it had dug in my shallow sand bed and attached itself to the glass. After being put of town for 2 days. I come back and it looks to have loved a few inches. Is this normal?

If provided the proper conditions, giant clams are a great choice not only for the beginner reef aquarist but even for the most advanced reef aquarists, offering beauty, biological benefits as well as biological diversity. Proper lighting, water movement, trace elements and placement of the...

I've been doing reef aquaria long enough to know I'm not supposed to chase numbers; yet, I found myself doing that the past couple of weeks. Unfortunately, in the process, I've managed to kill 1 clam, while the other one looks like it's on its way out. Everything else seems to be looking all...

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