GHill762 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 this thing just keeps throwing it's mantle out farther.. I assume this is healthy looking? how do I tell if it is gaping? Link to comment
1reefluvr2 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 So having that hole open a tar isnt gaping? Link to comment
GHill762 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 So far so good!!! That's good to hear It's my new favorite thing. Lol. I noticed it doesn't get bothered by touching frogspawn.. Link to comment
ZephNYC Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 So having that hole open a tar isnt gaping? nope, its not gaping. That is a healthy opening for sure, especially in a Crocea which often hold themselves slightly open. Link to comment

GHill762 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 just an update on this little crocea.. it survived my tank upgrade and seems even happier in the new tank. I have it a little higher up in the tank and it seems to be darkening up to more of a purple color.. also, she got a little buddy..initially I was concerned with the mouth being open, but now her inhalent siphon is nearly always shut, or at least nearly shut.. the clam got darker in the new tank, it's higher up in the tank closer to the light, but the light is also turned down, so we'll see what happens when I start running it a little higher.. my new maxima is showing a little bit of gaping of the inhalent siphon, but is responsive to changes in light and otherwise appears healthy. my guess is stress from shipping, then being moved around too much by me.. she was looking much better yesterday than the day before, and better this morning than yesterday..

ZephNYC Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Clams look Awesome!!! Croceas are more sensitive than ALL other clams, so if theres anythng wrong with your tank the Croc's will show it first, before the maximas. Keep up the good work!!! Link to comment

Keep up the good work!!! so I'm curious, I've been trying to find some info online.. My crocea is quite a bit darker than when I got it, is it going to keep getting darker as I turn my lights up? I'm only maxing around 40% right now and plan to take it up a bit further.. Just curious what your experience is with increasing light intensity.. Link to comment
ZephNYC Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 so I'm curious, I've been trying to find some info online..

Just curious what your experience is with increasing light intensity.. Yes!! Croceas like more light than Maximas. I have actually burned holes in maxima clams with halides, but the croceas BASK in it. Link to comment
