Poll: Do you have a clam in your reef or not? If not what is your reasoning?

[JFrar]

i got a derosa for my first clam 2 months ago and it is doing great, allready can see at least a 1/8th inch growth from the white shell on the ends, not sure if thats good or average but i like it

 

[HumanMachine]

Yep. My Durasa.

After losing 6 of them last year, I decided to start keeping clams again. I recently got 4 tiny 1" maximas and then my husband bought me a large turquoise maxima for Mom's day. They're hard to get a good pic of because they're in the wall tank, but here they are...

 

[Dtech07]

Yes a total of 7.

I'm too new at this. I don't have the confidence to get one yet but want to someday. I will have to do a lot of reading about their food and care requirements before I jump in.

No, theyre beautiful! But I opted for the Emperor Angel in my new tank

 

[Crinomau]

I would love to have one! But in my homeland they are way too expensive... I am working a lot to give a gorgeous Tridacna a good home hehehe

Here is mine, i think it is a Derasa.
Its about 9ish inches long, had it since jt was about 3 inches for about 6 years.
Is a surviver, it has survided 1 tank crash, 2 tank moves and the upgrade from a 60g to a 150g
Also, it doesnt have a foot, so i can move it around and place it werever i want, wich is nice.
Makes my reactor media last so little, lol

As soon as I can up grade my lights I'll have a few. Always wanted some

No I don't have any clams. Tank is too new. But when my tank grows up I do plan on getting quite a few. I really like clams. My reason for getting the wider 40B as opposed to my old 55G. More room for clams and coral.

I have 2 a blue and a gold but can't find a pic of the blue. The blue one is one of the little ORA clams I've had it for around a year and a half and it's at least 3 times the size it was when I got it.

 

[Keithcorals]

Found one

 

[mainereefer]

I have 2 clams in my 180g a blue maxima I have had for about 4 years and a "gold" maxima I just got a couple months ago

in my 40g sps tank, I took most of the sand out so I can have a couple couple clams without them starving

Test

 

[Kworker]

Planning on it, just want to make sure the pyramid snails starve off first. Not sure which species yet...

 

[ingtar_shinowa]

I have a derasa, 2 indo/pacific maxima, a gorgeous french poly maxima, and a red sea maxima. At one point I had 11 clams, and then a bobbit worm got them.
