Hi I just joined up yesterday. I've lived in lawton for almost 30 years and started reef keeping three years ago. Here are my tanks:

Welcome. :wave:

Those are some big clams. Image#1 there is a coral right on top, almost center but to the left a little, it appears to have a stalk, what is it. TIA
 
There's but one mushroom in the tank. All the branching corals you see are tonga branch and a coco worm tube. It's just a clam dominated tank because some of my "reef" safe fish turned on my coral and started eating it. I now have six clams in that tank. One is new and is in quarintine. So I will have 7 in there next week. Oh and nice to meet you. I'm new here and am looking forward to the benefits of having a membership on the forum. It seems like the place for me.
 
Hello!! Welcome to R2R!! Nice tanks!

Here are some of my favorite tank inhabitants: my 7 inch squamosa I've had for almost three years, my grafted war coral and the last pic I'm not sure if it's a lobos or scoly. I d please?
 
Love the Squamosa, and the new Crocea is beautiful. These clams must be putting a huge dent in the Ca level, how your keeping up with the demand?
 
Well they're being good right now but last year the squamosa went through a 400g of brightwell aquatics elemental calcium in one month alone.
 
But I seem to have gotten a bad batch of clams from salty underground. My two smaller derasa are acting funny and the maxima I ordered with them already died.
 
It happens unfortunately. I sure hope you get to the bottom of it. I would try to isolate those clams if possible.
 
Great tank and welcome to R2R!
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?
