Maxima clam

Seems to like his new spot. Mantle not coming out as much though, may just be a little stressed from getting moved a lot

What I’ve done is placed my small maxima in a glass bowl with calcium reactor media. It’s a bit easier to position the clam and it will then connect to the rubble.

Great idea!

Investigation complete [emoji361][emoji859]. I placed a pvc coupling around it which worked great, but I only kept it there for a few days. My freaking hippo tang likes to pick up small rocks and snails then toss them around , so guess what she picked up next? It was her all along... Unfortunately, this time was fatal and now the clams dead.

Definitely going to get another, but I'm going to put a little cage around it or something for a while, until it's big enough and I don't have to worry about killer hippo tangs. Ugh...

Glad you found the culprit. We had a blue hippo that would literally move anything in her swim path. It was crazy to watch.

I'll forgive it this time, but next time I'm going to keep lemons and seasoning on standby [emoji486]

Coincidently it just picked up and tossed my toadstool under some rocks [emoji36]
