What is the biggest size a captive maxima can get?

I see some stat boxes saying they can get to 10-12". Is this only in the wild or is it true in both cases?

most time they will only get to 6" but i just read someone who has a 9" one so anything is possible.

iv seen pics of people having 8"+ in their 300g+ reef tank. probably going to need something that big to have a stable environment for a clam if your going to raise it that big.

 

doubt most of the big clams were grown to that size from something around 3"

[TheUnfocusedOne]

they could very well get that big

 

the thing u need to keep in mind is the time scale that will happen

 

chances are youd be fine with a small clam in your tank for years with out size being an issue

just curious. . .thanks I have an AP12 and didn't know if I could keep it as long as it lives or for a limited time period.
