Possible new clam

Hi everyone I’ve had a blue maxima clam that’s been in my aquarium since July. It’s doing very well and has been growing on the sand bed. I was thinking about getting another different type of clam but wasn’t sure what type to get. I was looking on algae barn at their selection and I like how they come with those custom rocks. Was just wondering if someone could suggest another type of clam for me that has worked well for you

Maxima clams are rock boring. Long term you may want to consider moving it on to a clam rock. A good hardy sand clam species is derasa. They are very forgiving. Just remember all of these species grow pretty large so plan accordingly.

Yeah my clam was on a rock but had to be moved while trying to get a problem tang out of my tank. Only been in the sand for like a week and I’m waiting for the clam rocks on algae barn to be back in stock unless you know of another possible place to get them. And I was thinking about the dersa or possibly the squimossa. I want something with a little bit of yellow
