New clam

Picked up a 3.5 to 4 inch black and gold maxima from the frag swap yesterday. Hopefully this one goes better than the last.

Looks nice! Make sure it's getting plenty of light. I really like the pattern.

Update after a day in the tank.

My picture skills are still lacking so you guys get to watch the progress of a clam and my picture taking skills.

Great mantle extension, significant new shell growth, and no sign of pmd. you may have gotten a winner sir!

Day two. Turned a slight bit but for the better. It's facing the front a bit more.

Day 4 still going strong. Took some pictures with the blues off.

Hopefully I can get them up to the 6 inch range in a few years. Will make for some great center pieces!

Yes they will and with the health of most clams entering ranging from poor to half dead it’s nice to see someone importing and selling clams with nice white new shell growth and fully extended mantles. I am looking forward to more updates in the future, especially when they hit 6” [emoji6]
