ry05coupe Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Looks more like a Crocea, I think they prefer to be in the sand. Very nice clam nonetheless! Link to comment

ry05coupe Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I'm going to say crocea stil because of the relatively smooth shell. In this pic you can see the shell of my Maxima in the bottom right. See the "plates" Also, croceas tend to have larger mantles and different color schemes than Maximas. Here is a top down shot of my max: Link to comment

Yes, he will be fine on the rock. A lot of people let their croceas attatch to something then bury that in the sand. Don't attempt to take the clam off of the rock, changes are you will damage it's foot. Link to comment

ry05coupe Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Whoops, guess I had em confused. Every time I see a crocea at a store here it's on the sand. Link to comment
cyber98 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Its a Crocea. Croceas are rock borring clams and require the most light of all tridacnas Whoops, guess I had em confused. Every time I see a crocea at a store here it's on the sand. is it going to be fine in my RSM 130D? I am planning to upgrade to LED, but I am currently using the stock light Link to comment
