tetraodon Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Holy moly thats a purdy clam, how much that set you back? Link to comment
TJ_Burton Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 There's no green on her at all in person, on camera or not. Try taking a picture with a flash or 6,700K light. What you see in the divers den pic is the metallic sheen / reflectiveness of the pigments. If you have more blue light over your tank, you won't ever get to see those colors. Pretty typical for Crocea clams. Link to comment

basser1 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ummm.... Hope they send you the right one!! I had a little snafu with my PEA order, but it's all good 'cause I'm happy with the wrong clam they sent me. Link to comment

ZephNYC Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 So how big is she for $150? She is gorgeous!Only 2 inches. I like 3"+ much better, but I couldn't resist the color pattern. Ummm.... Hope they send you the right one!! I had a little snafu with my PEA order, but it's all good 'cause I'm happy with the wrong clam they sent me.I read about your mix up. It will be very easy to tell if they send the wrong one this time. I'm sure that doesn't happen very often. Link to comment
tetraodon Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 i found my clam had jumped off the rack i had and on to my sand bed and attached himself to the adjacent rock, question is do i let him stay there or do i remove him and put him back on the rack Link to comment
ward827 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Let him do his thing. You could damage his foot by trying to move him after he's attached.Clams will move around until they find their happy place. W- Link to comment

Let it be..let it beeeee!!!! Its still getting strong light right? Link to comment
tetraodon Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 The clam attached near my yuma coral, could there have been too much light? Link to comment
ZephNYC Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 The clam attached near my yuma coral, could there have been too much light? The only way you can give a clam too much light it to sit it directly under a 400W, 10K halide. Anythng else is a piece of cake for a clam. Link to comment
tetraodon Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Anything I can look for if its not gettinf enough light Link to comment
cthumphr Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hey all clam experts, - I have a RSM 130 with stock lighting. I know StevieT had a clam in his old RSM for a while under the stock lights. But if I added a Ecoxotic Panorama Pro 2.0 16W 12,000K/445nm Blue LED Module - do you think that would make a clam happier? I've read that the derasa's require less light - would that be a good choice given my lighting limitations? Hope to be added to the registry one day. Thanks Link to comment
ZephNYC Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Anything I can look for if its not gettinf enough light THis is a great question...Check out the other thread we were on about clams getting stung and look at the pictures of the wild clams there. Notice how they are not overly open, just open enough, for the most part. When clams are receiving all of their carbon/energy requirements, for maintanance and growth, and are receiving enough light, they dont stay W I D E open all day long. They dont have to, they just stay nice. WHen clams are not receiving enough light they often look their BEST, very open and looking awesome !! THis is because they are struggling to suck up every photon of light available. Then they die. All to common situation. Hey all clam experts, - I have a RSM 130 with stock lighting.

They require the least light and are the most forgiving. If that lasts 6 months you might want to try a maxima. Link to comment
cthumphr Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 nice - thanks for the input ZephNYC - Derasa it will be! Link to comment
