Caught all 3 in about 5 seconds but I’ve spent a lot of time on reefs looking for clams!
I’m also a huge fan @Miami Reef!

here are the six I have in the sump (for scale the big green one is about 30cm!):



3 more in another system






I have 3 more in the system with the sump clams but no video. Total 7 maxima 2 crocea and 1 noae

The mimosa may become the tank if it gets to 10”. Hard to capture the size, it takes up the main part of left side in this tank. Doing great though.

Gosh. Guys, I think I’m in love with clams.

I always knew I loved clams, since many years ago.

I went to the LFS a few days ago and saw new maxima clams. I could feel my heart jump with excitement!

Does anyone else share the love I have for clams? They are so cute the way they get shy and close up when something approaches them, then their mantles slow crawl back and extends. Their round valves.

I’m in love with clams. :D
Clam Chowder, Yum!

Wow! Those are very nice clams.

I always wanted a clam but my rank is only 18 months old. Maybe some day.
I already have a little clam holder for when the time comes!

What do you feed your clams?
Light (350+ par) and whatever NO3, PO4, and organics are floating in the water. :)
