How are my clams looking?

Here's a couple of updated pictures after a couple days out of the acclimation box. So far everything seems to be leaving them alone which is good. I can't get an accurate/good picture of the maxima, it turns out looking too blue, but I thought the picture of the deresa turned out pretty accurate to what I see. I think it has a bit more green in person but it's the best I could do through the glass with my phone.

Looks great!

Thanks. Has some nice new shell growth too.

The maxima didn't make it. I couldn't get it to attach to the clam hammock or rubble and every time I tried to move it up to get more light you could sit and watch it jump off within minutes most of the time. Right/left/center, medium height, the very top, directly under a light or not, didn't seem to matter, it wouldn't stay. So eventually I just let it sit on the sand because it seemed to stay there but eventually it perished. So for now I'll just stick with the Deresa, although those Hippopus from Pacifc East are cool looking. But not sure I can quite bring myself to spend that much on a clam.
