I am new to the tridacnid clam, I inherited one from a friend who was dismantling his reef and he was just going to throw it away (sad, huh). It's a beautiful clam and by the reading I've done so far, I'm pretty sure it's a Maxima.
My question is simple:
1) Where do I place him on my reef??
I have a 60 gallon tank with 296 watts of PC lighting and 4 moonlight LED's. (Coralife setup, hope this is enough light)
I know the placement question is asked on this forum quite a bit, but I really didn't see much on the Maxima specifically. I've also read they don't mind a lot of current, is this true?? Also, any recommendations on feeding??? I was thinking Marine Snow might be good, but not sure.
I really hope I can keep this guy alive, he is absolutely beautiful and I have a feeling he will get me addicted to clams rather quickly. Any info. you folks could provide would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!
