My SPS & Clam Tank

[Miami Reef]

Thank you! Acanthophyllia and trachyphyllia can tolerate each other nicely. Lobophyllia are monsters; mine has killed many corals that were pushed to it from the high flow.

Yes, the coralline has completely covered the tank. lol

I recently switched my T5 bulb combo.

In addition, I added a large pack of acropora from @Battlecorals and bought some maxima clams from ORA.

These are terrible photos. I took them and put them in my notes after mounting them.

Just curious what do you use to keep track of all these corals, is their a specific app?

I use the Notes app on my iPhone. You can insert text and images.

This is my current favorite clam.

I like the acropora colonies in this top-down.

That’s a good price for an ultra grade.

Have we discussed before why it is that clams look different through glass? Its shocking how much brighter it looks from above despite me having very clear glass

Good question. It’s not the glass, but the viewing angle.

The reflective iridophores in the mantle cause this effect.
