    I have a gold maxima that isnt too bright and a Derasa (my avatar pic).
    Would love to get a tear drop to add some color

    You always have some of the nicest clams I've ever seen. Did the mantle of the teardrop ever get bothered by the acan mouths?

    nope never had any issue with clam mantles resting on corals. Anemones they dont like much though
