big clam and?'s

[CerebrlAsassn1]

just go this derasa at the chattanooga frag swap the other day... hes about 7 inches left to right, 5 inches tall, about 5 inches give or take from front to back when open, he only cost me $90!!!:bigsmile: As you can tell by the big y.tang in the pic (who is about the size of a DVD), the clam is pretty big...i thought the last one i had was big,you should be able to see the shell from that one in the sand on the left, but this is definitely the biggest ive ever owned, and ever seen in person!! Also got some clowns at the FS, they had perculas, ocellaris, and black clowns all for 10 dollars each!! i swiped up 4 of those suckers!!:tongue: I was wondering though if anyone knows if the discoloration on the left side of the clam is something to worry about? That and if you know what the best supplement is to use for feeding him. I use some already for my other corals but im not sure if they are enough or the best to use...:ooh: sorry it wont let me upload the pics they are alredy uploaded to "show of your clams that you have or had" page. you can find them there..sorry

clams that size just need good cal/alk levels.... dont worry about feeding them

umm they are filter feeders! i would say reef snow would work good

I have a big clam (10") and I don't feed it anything special. I agree with ALex on the Cal and Alk levels. What where they when you last tested?
