Clams are just as addicting as sps

Favorite right now


My plans are to setup a smaller tank plumbed into the DT for the clams, then turn the flow back up for the acros.

Nice looking collection. I wouldn't worry about flow and clams too much, if the mantle isn't permanantly bent over due to too much flow then they are fine. I have mine in a whirlwind right along with my SPS.

I picked the cultured Croceas out at a swap meet in Sept. from Dr. Mac's display. That is really the best time to buy clams when you have a tank full to choose from.
Do you know anyone that has bought any of the redsea clams that were imported recently?

 

[skinz78]

No I haven't seen any Red Sea clams, got a linky?

Nice!
Do you QT your clams?

Nice!

No. Right or wrong I scrub with toothbrush, and inspect in FW dip for 5 mins. This short FW bath may not be helpful, but clams have always opened right up afterwards.
Clams do not seem bothered. I know the 20-30min FW dip is harsh on clams though. So, I in no way would tell anyone to FW dip that long unless last resort.
