dling Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I found a site that has Nose clams for sale. I cant find any info on this type of clam. They have them grouped with the Crocea clams. I would like to know How big do Noae Clams get ? 1 Quote Link to comment

I read it as “nose” clams not noae. 😂 Noae is it’s own separate species of giant clam. Previously they were just sold as maxima clams. Quote Link to comment
dling Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 So the question is do you then know how big they get ? Quote Link to comment

IIRC 8-10-ish inches, hard to find and hard to keep, or at least that's what I recall from contacting a tridacnea mariculture group a few years back. Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the info. Was hoping they be smaller. I have a crocea being delivered this week. Was willing to get another clam if the size was small like the crocea. Quote Link to comment

joshthebox Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I've seen a local reefer on a forum with one around 12" or so. I have one that's about 5". 1 Quote Link to comment
