    Maxima clam detached

    Hello all, I’ve had a maxima clam for approx. one month now. It’s been doing well. It extends its mantle and reacts to light. It attached itself to a rock after 2 days of introducing it to my tank. About two weeks ago, I added a second AI bar. This being a Glow light (to enhance coral...

    Help Grade my Maxima

    Hello, I have a very beautiful Maxima Clam which I’ve kept since, 10/18/20 and have never seen one comparable. I’d love to have a little more insight if any clam guru would like to chime in and potentially tell me what this variant would be if any. The photo below was taken 08/23/21. I’m away...

    Who knew clams can be a different color on the inside?

    So today when I was cleaning my tank, I noticed something "different" inside my new maxima clam.... My new clam is mostly blue/teal and I noticed some yellows inside the intake siphon. I have a striped blenny and at first I panicked thinking my blenny barged his way inside... I got out my top...

    Clam dead overnight?

    I just got an ultra-grade maxima clam yesterday, and it acclimated well, opening and everything last night. Then I came down to my tank today, and there was no clam left, just the shell. I didn't have any fish that would eat it that I looked at online. The parameters are good, the nitrate is a...

    Is my clam healthy?

    Hello, I added mussels to my aquarium for the first time. This is its second day and it is responding to the reactions. He looks good except for his mouth. Is this much mouth opening normal? Also in local lfs it said maxima but I think it's crocea. Can someone with knowledge about mussels help?

    Hello, all! I have a black and white maxima clam, about 2.5" that I have had for about two months. I started her out in the sand to acclimate in lower light, she stayed there for about a month seemingly happy and opening appropriately. I took her from the sand (blue circle) and placed her on...

    My new clam arrived from interstate completely separated from his rock. His entire foot ripped out!

    The packaging wasn’t the best treated. Half water missing and the clam in 2 pieces. I’m thinking I have 2 as it’s my 1st clam experience. A maxima. I’ve taken it out & underneath it is a huge empty hole, I also copped a spray. Very gross. I’ve examined the rock piece and the other part of his...

    Blue Maxima Clam suddenly has a pale, discolored tint to parts of it

    We have a large blue maxima clam that has been growing and doing great for about 6 months now. A couple days ago, we noticed that its flesh has taken on a sort of "cloudy" tint, that ends abruptly, in a pretty straight line. The clam is still opening well, etc, but this discoloration hasn't...

    Anyone know the best base or hammock for attaching a maxima clam?

    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...

    Please help with fading Maxima Clam mantle

    Hello, I purchased Maxima Clam about 3 weeks ago, and noticed that it's mantle has become flaky and cracked, like asphalt that was heavily salted in the winter (It's more clear when you zoom in on the picture). It's receiving about 150 PAR and has low to moderate flow. Alkalinity is at 8.2...

    Clam Questions

    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?

    Algae grown on the mantle of maxima clam

    Hi everyone, I am new to the reef2reef forum and also reef tank. Recently I bought a maxima clam. But sooner or later, I found the phosphate level is too high (>2ppm), which kills the Duncan and hammer coral inside. I used phosphate removal to reduce the phosphate down to 0.25. My clam still...

    Where did you get your clam from

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

    Gobes and the Clam

    Just figured I would throw this funny picture out there, there is a pistol shrimp on the other side of my tank that this guy bonded with, then peaced out ✌️ because the den was too small. Ever since then he has paired with this clam. He Hangs out on it all day, and defends when fish come close...
