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

 

nice score. It is obviously very happy there.

Congrats! Go pick yourself up some phytoplankton though because zooplankton is too big for the clam to eat

 

Thanks for the heads up... will pick some up today

 

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.

 

Well I guess I know who to go to if I need a clam-sitter
(coral reefer!)
Just hope I get him back LOL

 

oh, sure you will get him/her back> the four of them will have so much fun together! hahaha

 

Good score!!! Now wheres mine?

 

pretty clam! did you name it???

 

Um.... I'm not sure I should answer that one... for the safty of the clam?!?
