Where should I put my Maxima?

[John Minnix]

All,

I just picked up this six inch maxima today. I have it under one of my Hydra AI lights but towards the bottom. Is this a good spot for it?

Any other advice? It was a bit of an impulse buy. It was on sale for $90 and I've seen these usually go for $150+, so I went for it. I'm hoping I can keep it alive.

Very nice clam. I would look for a spot higher as a large maxima requires a decent amount of light.

Thanks. I could put it up towards the middle, but would an anemone sting a clam? I'd be worried about that.

It definitely can. Clam mantles can be resistant to stings but not immune.
