Spectacular! Can you show a comparison pic between white and blue lighting? And what size are these?

Noae is the species, Tridacna noae. They require the same conditions as the other Tridacna clams: intense lighting and some nitrate/phosphate that they use as food. We keep them in our greenhouse with additional metal halide, then LED lighting. Photos are taken under natural sunlight with some supplemental LED lighting.

After a week to 10 days they are transitioned to natural sunlight with blue LED supplemental lighting.

Within another week to 10 days they are transitioned to blue LED lighting with incidental sunlight and available for sale.

This is why PEA is the best clam vendor I know of in the USA.
