derasa

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...

Hello everyone. I've been attempting to do my best at caring for this Derasa clam I have. It seems fine other than the fact that I have this ... THING... stuck to it. When I first saw it I figured it was snail poop or something. But as I'm cleaning my tank, I noticed it got bigger ... I...

I have a very large Derasa Clam. Bought the size of a football. Lately I have noticed my Yellow Tang nipping at it. Its not taking any chunks out and there are no marks. Its like it just hitting it with its mouth. The clam doesn't seem to be bothered. It is not closing or flinching when the...

Is 150 PAR enough for a derasa clam? The spot that I’m looking at is around that PAR level with an AI prime.

For those that have clams, where did you get it from? Pacific East Aquaculture, Clam Mania, or an LFS?

I have this budget reef light I got off Amazon a while back. Anyways could I keep a derasa clam and if not what about a thorny oyster or a flame scallop? I know this isn’t the most intense light but could I raise it up with some rock? Thanks in advance!

My tank is pushing one year old and has become pretty stable. Today I received my first derasa clam (less than 2 inches). Tonight I stumbled across an article on Algae Barn which stated they need low nitrate, below 2 ppm. If this is true, my clam is in trouble because my nitrate usually hovers...

Hopefully someone here can help out! I woke up yesterday to find my LARGE Derasa clam had managed to somehow detach its hinge. When I touch it, it still reacts and try’s to move, but you can feel that the 2 half’s of the shell move independently of each other and are not connected at the hinge...

First post! Sorry its not a happy one :( I got home today and my clam that I have had for about 5 months now is gaping open wider than I have ever seen it. It also seems to have a bump in the center of the mantle as well. This weekend everything was fine and I even have pictures from then as...

I was adjusting the aquascape in my tank and a large coral skeleton fell on my 7 inch derasa clam. It has opened back up since then and I can see that there is a scratch in the mantle and also another spot where it appears a small piece of coral may have pierced the mantle and broke off. or at...

So I have been thinking about buying a tridacna clam for a couple of weeks. I'm not planning to buy it soon but around late spring/early summer. I was just wondering if anyone can give me any good tips on taking care of these guys, best places to get them, personal experiences, etc. I have a...

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...

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...
