mystersyster Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hey guys. I don't see a lot of love on the clam forum these days. I've recently been OBSESSED with clams. They're pretty awesome, and I'd like to see your clams. Preferably a before and after picture (if they've grown a lot) and name of the species. Looking forward to see your clams! Here are my Derasa clams 3 Quote Link to comment

Great name, gorgeous clam. clam8316 by Dave Fason, on Flickr Gorgeous colors. My little baby maxima. A lot of mantle on her 1-1.25" shell. Where did you get your maxima? I want to get one but I'm afraid because they're usually so tiny. 2 Quote Link to comment
Ebn Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Where did you get your maxima? I want to get one but I'm afraid because they're usually so tiny. Came from AquaSD during a live sale ($60). I'm considering one of the B&W ones from LiveAquaria as well since I do want one of them in the tank. I don't mind the small size since they do grow. Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 The many colors of Oreo I see some green in there, maybe a mint oreo My little baby maxima. A lot of mantle on her 1-1.25" shell. A steal at $60! fantastic colors. I had a pink/blue one with some green edges, was pretty neat! She was also kind of HUGE. I moved and am now shopping for another clam. 1 Quote Link to comment

reefhound Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Ultra Maxima picture doesn't do this guy justice.. currently looking for a gold to add to it 1 Quote Link to comment
Microbialhydra Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I recently got a gold derasa clam for my 20. I've been feeding reef rounds every day and phytoplankton 3 times a week derasa clam 2 Quote Link to comment
steste1122 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'm not sure its a clam, but its some type of bivalve. Very tiny--like half the size of a grain of rice. Little hitchhiker from my rock. Very active little bugger, it climbed that rock and has made it to the other side. Quote Link to comment

nano_MC_reef Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Don't most of these clams get HUGE Quote Link to comment
mystersyster Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Don't most of these clams get HUGE Depends. Derasa clams can get very big at around 2 feet. Maxima around 12 inches, crocea even smaller. Quote Link to comment
Cencalfishguy56 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Just a heads up guys that Aqua SD has some badass clams for solid deals on their live sale page rn Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Depends. Derasa clams can get very big at around 2 feet. Maxima around 12 inches, crocea even smaller. Maxima clams top out at about 6". Some have been found at 8", but they're likely not Maxima. Squamosa get around 16", hippopus get I think 10", and most of the maxima-esque species that are now split off, such as noae, ningaloo, etc get about 6-8", as well. Quote Link to comment
