That's great news. Snap a pic if you can. So happy to hear

What do you think Dennis? It's hard to photograph but I think you can see the difference from the first pictures. In this picture it's more visible on the right side of the shell but in person it's the same on both sides. The horizontal surface of the top of the shell (the first part of the shell to be covered by the mantle) is snow white. Is that where growth is seen?

How much can clams move? :D He was perpendicular to the front glass, now he's at a 45 degree angle. Might have been done by one of my conchs?

New growth is definitely continuing and color continues to improve. Exit siphon has a bright blue ring around it.

Noticed tonight while feeding the tank that I think I'm seeing new growth even when he's not retracted now. Am I imagining it?

You must have painted him purple at one point :). Coralline growth is amazing. You use 2 part right?

Yes sir. Right now I'd say about 98% of my 2 part dosing is going to the clam and the coralline. All my banded Trochus snails are now Purple Trochus.:)
