Question: they opened up like that after like 2-3 minute in the tank, took the pictures but had to go to frys to buy something and posting it now. Still looks the same.
Is he fully opened for his size? or is he still kinda closed up?

By the way the clam does not close when I moved it around in the tank a bit, is this normal behavior of clam?

What do you guys think of the color?
Payed 50 bucks for the 5 incher

Hope you guys like it
