maxima clam

Has anyone placed their clams at the top of their tanks? I'm looking to turn my tank into an LPS dominant tank which means my substrate may not have enough par for a clam, but the top of my aquascape might.

Just got this new maxima and gave him a FW dip to make sure no Pyramid snails but his “mouth” looks like this. My other clam doesn’t seem so pronounced. Should I be concerned?

Hi there, Here are clams that i got and I am pretty sure they are maximas and corceas. It seems like only the croceas are gaping, any idea why?

I have 6” mature maxima clam and the mantel is normally fully expanded and clam looks huge! I recently added starry blenny to proactively handle any algae on rear tank wall, LR etc. unfortunately starry blenny started to perch on clam (fine) now nips and clam closes. Can a starry blenny and 6”...

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 my name is Johnny and I am brand new to Reef keeping and saltwater aquariums. I originally joined Reef2Reef to learn from all of the experts here but I am also looking forward to sharing my journey and knowledge with those that come after me. I’ve been doing a lot of research on...

There's a Maxima clam at the LFS that I'm into. It's about 7". Judging from the size, this is definitely a wild collected one. Does anyone have any idea if it looks healthy? It is reacting well to shadow. The mantle extension isn't as much as farmed one's but I understand that's typical with...

Currently have a 13.5 gallon thats loaded with crabs. I have a halloween hermit crab, 20+ electric orange hermit crab, decorator crabs, pitho crabs, all of which are crabs that don't touch my corals. On the other hand, I put a tiny cross barred venus clam in the sand bed and I later found that...

My maxima clam (size ~3") has had what looks to me like pinched mantle since December 13th. I though it might be agitated from the algae growing on its shell so I brushed it off. It doesn't seem to be getting better. What can I do to remedy this? Thanks in advance for the help. Tank Parameters...

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...

Have had my baby maxima clam for about a year now sitting in it's little cradle. It's about time I start preparing a spot in the tank for it. Looking for ideas of what corals would look nice around it or growing on the clam holder cradle. I was thinking a nice slow growing eye catching zoanthid...

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?

I purchased a small Maxima Clam about 2 months ago and everything was going great, it was growing and had great color. I did my nightly dose of photo-plankton and went to bed. Woke up this morning and the hermit crab was inside the clam eating the remains! Has anyone had this happen before...

i got a small maxima clam for my 33g last Thursday and it seems perfectly healthy however in the mornings and at night I’ve seen a total of 4 on it and 1 several weeks before I had it, I’ve killed all the ones I’ve seen on the clam but couldn’t find the bigger one again, does anyone know if they...

So I recently added a Maximus clam to my 30g reef tank and it is adapting great but every night and sometimes in the mornings it will have a bristle worm or two on the shell, I've been removing them with tweezers but I know that this is not sustainable. I always wanted to get a clam so removing...

Hi all, I’ve got about 3 aiptasia and I’m going to purchase joes juice. Only question I have, is it safe to use around my good anemones, they’re somewhat close to aiptasia, and also is it safe to use for one attached to my maxima clam? When injection I’ll turn off flow to maximize accuracy

So I tried getting this Aiptasia out of my tank, but my pliers just wouldn’t reach into that area. I’m thinking I’ll try something different in the morning, is it ok to leave it like this?

I tried sucking up an aiptasia from the sand bed near a maxima clam. Wasn’t able to get it, but surely disturbed both of them. Should I be concerned about anything?

Sorry if this has been posted already but I really need to know. My main question is are blue leg crabs safe to have around Maxima clams? ;Nailbiting Got a great deal on a couple maxima clams on a recent visit to California (1/3 of the price asked for in Las Vegas) I should have done my research...

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...
