 |  new clam...
So we made a trip to the not so LFS yesterday (about 40 miles away, but it happens to be Bills favorite, so we still go)
Anywho... they had a small (2.5 to 3 inches??) T.Crocea clam that someone had ordered and canceled, so they had it marked for $20  ... nice score! I think anyway. I couldnt help myself... he was just too adorable. 
pretty nice little guy
anyways.. had him in the tank for about an hr before he actually attached himself to the rock I put him on, somewhere I read that it takes as long as 2 weeks before they attach to the rock?!? He must like it there?
Don't worry... I bought a bottle of zooplankton which is getting put on him once a day until hes atleast 3.5 inches _________ 40 gal acrylic tank, 20 gal wet/dry sump, 3.7 gal HOB CPR fuge, CPR bak-pak skimmer, Eheim canister filter, 192w Coralife CF, 150w 10k MH, 200w heater 40lbs of live sand, 50 lbs of live rock 8 blue leg hermit crabs, 2 Turbo snails, Tiger brittle star, sand star, 3 feather dusters 1 T.Crocea, 1 Pajama Cardinalfish, 1 mandarin dragonet, 1 purple firefish, 1 hi-fin banded shrimp goby ast mushrooms, xenia, zoa's and glove polyps Malama na Honu |

Tie, what a deal...did you luck out with the clam! I'm jealous- Your Crocea might do just fine right now with just the lighting as the clams irridophores and zooxanthellae should start to take up residence in your clams mantle. _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.
