TJ_Burton Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 This is my new clam! fairly large about 5.5" Beautiful Purple/Blue with white/Baby blue freckles near the outer rim, and developing a beautiful gold ring aound the inside. I love where I placed him in the tank! I put him on top of the right hand side rockwork, which just happens to be a dead Table Acropora attached to the top of it. So after putting the clam on there and settpin back to take a look, it sorta looked to me like it was up on a pedestal! lol... aw well... I just am i n love with a new critter... ANYWAYS I will try and get some pices of him open... Link to comment

TJ_Burton Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 In my experiences, and from the knowledge of a friend (clam lover) clams are unaffected by the stings of corals. I only believe him as he has kept over 50 clams, unfortunetly the blackout last summer killed them all, he is starting over, some amazing stuff! But I will monitor him closely just incase!

TJ_Burton Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 I have moved the torch,, it did not appear to be bothering the clam but I better be safe then sorry! Link to comment
Lunchbucket Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 yeah i don't remeber if it will bother it but "better safe than sorry" good call IMO Lunchbucket Link to comment

LakerFan Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Originally posted by Lunchbucket i would get that torch away from him...it will burn it!! Lunchbucket i've had a clam right next to as frogspawn in my tank for about a year now with no problems at all. Euphylia's are good for controlling GSP's though.. They stopped their growth really fast as soon as it got to the frogspawn's reach. Link to comment
