Show off your clams that you have or had

[JF2381]

I'll join in. Here are some photos of the clams I've own. Unfortunately, I've lost most of them from a bad case of PM. I'm still battling it right now and I'm down to 9 clams when at one time I've had about 25. As much as I love clams, I can't seem to get too excited over them right now. It's just depressing. I won't be getting any more for a long time. Not atleast until I have a QT and a dedicated tank setup just for clams. I've been wanting to post for a while but I just couldn't bring myself to doing it until now. It's just sad looking at them. Anyway, here they are. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed them prior to my PM problem.

Those are some of the nice clams I have seen. What a shame that you are losing that awesome collection. I hope that the remaining recover.

WOW some very nice clams there, thanks for sharing!

Loosing clams sucks big time, I lost over 20 in a one month period. Most were pretty rare so it was a spendy crash. Took me over a year to get back into it and once again I have about 20 clams LOL.

I have 4 (3 maxima and 1 dersa)

Thanks. It sucks. I have been slowly watching them die one by one. Yeah I hope that's the end of the casualties but I'm still fighting it so I won't feel any better until the PM is completely gone.

Sorry for your loss and I know your pain. They are such an addiction so once I get over this problem and have the right setup for them, I will probably start again. I don't think I'll be able to resist these beauties for long. It's just pretty depressing to look at or think about them right now.

How are you treating them for PM?

Do you know what has triggered the PM?

I can help you out if you wish? If so please start a new thread on it and we'll see what is happening.

Very nice Paul!

Thanks. I'm pretty sure the large one and that one are. They have the spots. How do you tell for certain? I got all of my clams off of fellow reefers that were getting rid of them.

They are definitely teardrops and if the spots are blue then they are blue teardrops.

Beautiful Squamosa! I used to have one just like it and it was one of the best looking clams IMHO that I have seen, I am very jealous of yours now!
