A Reef 2 Reef Spotlight "Tridacna Crocea".

[skinz78]

I have a Blue maxima that has a spotted pattern. I have been thinking about getting a yellow coris or canary wrasse and was wondering your oppinion on how likely it will be to nip at the clams mantle. Also how do you pronounce crocea?

I keep Coris Wrasses with my clams no prob. LOL my best pronunciation explanation is Crow-s-ea-uh hahahahaha

Hey skinz, I've noticed my clams seem to get a little stressed with higher flows. Stressed meaning the clam looks like it is gaping from the inhalant I believe (the valve that is flush with the rest of the clam, not sure if that is correct). Is this common? Its about 35 inches away from the nearest powerhead, so it's
hard to believe its getting too much flow? Any ideas? Also when I turn the flow down (it's a vortech) the gaping stops immediately.

Can you post a pic in a new thread in the clam forum?

I have a 20 High that's been up almost 9 months and I'm thinking of getting a clam and sticking it pretty high up in my rockwork.

I have a 4 bulb T5 aquaticlife hood with individual reflectors. Would this be a good one to start with?
