Both, especially the Maxima is doing beautifully. Nice clams.

It’s pushed out such lovely mantle extension recently, it’s not like it’s needing more light but it is a lot more mantle extension than I expected from a maxima (Photos make them seem like they don’t push out quite so much mantle extension)

I just scored two colored Teardrop clams, T. noae anyway. I think I got it as a steal of a price.

One of my lfs's had a nice selection of maxima's at a decent price, so I'm giving it another shot. It opened immediately, turned itself 90 degrees and seems very happy now

Those look great. I haven't seen derasa clams locally in a long time. Love the lined pattern.

I just picked up my first clam (maxima, yea i know, but its whats more readily available here).

as you can see its a pretty big specimen.

Just after being put in my general coral/invert qt tank. I have added an extra light so i can reach 450 par without cooking all the other corals.
The clam has been sitting in 200ish par at the lfs for 3 months but still shows what to me seems like new growth. I have read people here suggesting you can just blast them but reading Fartherrees book he suggests light acclimating them to higher par so that is what i will do.

Here is two hours or so after placment in the tank

Love the dark and light contrast. Can't wait to see if fully open in bright light.
