Good size maximas, too! How long have you had them?

The one that's more blue I think i have had for over a year now and it's put on a good bit of weight in that amount of time, its probably about 8" from end to end. The one with the really light accents I got just a few weeks ago closer to 5/6".

Nice! Yeah I have several that are 8"+ and yeah 1-2 years they can add a lot of size. It's nice to see someone else with some big clams, it's not so common!

Traded some duncan frags for this derasa. I couldn’t be happier. I’ll move it to the display in a week or two and then it will enjoy some halide glory.

It's a couple months old, but definitely the best pic I've got of my derasa:

Taken with an Olympus TG-6, partially submerged in the tank to take the pic, and the colors are what it looks like in person. Really astounded with the coloration and the growth rate.

That guy is stunning, how long have you been growing him for and how big is he?

Thank you, I do think it's the most impressive thing in my tank! I got it right at the end of 2021, so close to year and a half. Started about 2.5" for the length of the shell and it's not 6-6.5", though in terms of volume, it's dozens of times its original size.

Got an order of clams from ORA via Amazing Aquariums &Reefs. Post better pictures later.
these are the best Crocea I have seen in ages. Small Crocea at about 1 inches.

Those Croceas are beautiful, I may have to add a Crocea when my Deresa outgrows the sand (Well, if my Maxima decides he’s going to continue to grow at the rate he is currently I may have to replace him with a Crocea)

These are the clams I got from ORA yesterday. 5 Crocea clams that are about 1 inch and 4 Maxima clams that are about 3 inches. Plus 4 Gigas that are about 5 inches. Many thanks to Ali from Amazing Aquariums & Reefs, and to Jordan from ORA. I really have not seen Crocea this beautiful for years. The Maxima are no slouch either. The Gigas are usual Gigas.

Too bad they are not all mine.
