    Great looking Clam.

    It's hard for me to tell from the pics, how large is it?

    Thanks for that,

    With 7 clams, do you target feed them or is there already enough food available in the tank?

    i only feed phyto every other day, but i don't target feed them as larger clams feed almost only on their algae, sometimes i may give a little extra to the tiny blue maxima as she is only about 1 1/2 inches. i have 6 165 watt vho bulbs(3 blue and 3 white)

    most are really easy to keep, and they are quite beautiful..... some even can do with less light(gigas,derasa,sqamosa,hippopas)
