    Cheap is a relative term. I have close to $1000 in clams. And I only have 8 of them. My new teardrop maxima that I picked up friday died today.

    I am having my first clam delivered on Tuesday, to be honest I'm kinda nervous, it's a crocea and I'm not sure where to place him, I know he needs a lot of light but I've also heard that they should be placed on rock as they don't like sand much

    Any suggestions?

    Place on a rock or something else it can attach its abyssal threads to. Once attached do not pull on it. High light.

    Consider this term stolen.

    Is there a minimum tank size to keep a clam?
