2 Clams at the petco in union square NYC

[Oshengems]

if anyone is interested they have a gold derasa about 3-4” and a Maxima or crocea about 1.5” it was too small to tell, they both have been in that tank for about 2 week and looked very heathy good reaction to my hand above. I have to swing by today again I will snap a pic Although they don’t like it, someone please rescue these 2 beauties!

See if you notice any new shell growth with the pics

 

[Oshengems]

Yeah they both had the small one had great shell growth I’m here at work considering the small one but I’m scare because of the size it’s about an inch for $50 might pull the trigger if it’s still there later I will post pics

Had to take the smaller one had a $5 coupon that was the push lol.... my question is Maxima or crocea ?

 

[DSC reef]

Tridacna maxima. Looks like a nice clam. I like the blue and gold

Thank you yes the gold was what kept me interested also on the derasa,

Btw anyone reading this they will give a 20% off on the derasa it’s a tad much for a derasa I believe at $100 but it’s about 5” probably a tad less, but that gold and blue rim really looks nice i must admit it’s not the normal Derasas I’ve seen before

Thank you, she’s doing great waiting for it to attach to a Lil mold I did with epoxy to put her on my rock work next to the other Maxima

Wow. Stunning clam!


Fwiw the toughest little clam I have had came from Petco. It was tough enough to live through my local Petco, which isn't very nice, I figured it was a strong one!

Unfortunately that previous clam didn’t last 2 weeks in my tank it slowly perished my strawberry conch just had the urge to drag it all over the place and I think I moved it too much eventually it ended up next to my lobo which I think it’s sweepin tentacles finished it off during a long weekend away smh(always when your away things happen)

I gave up on petco but walked in over the weekend and found the actual original clam I wanted which was a derasa not the color I wanted but this one has very good pontential so decided to give it a 2nd try brought home this lil baby and it’s doing great

On another note my old maxima was getting hammered with flow and decided to detach found it on my sand bed, I need a par meter to see if I can leave it there it looks so nice next to my zoa garden
