Show me your clam - Page 3

m-six hundred · 08/13/2012, 11:25 PM

I picked this up two days ago for $40. Can anyone identify it for me. It was sold to me as a grade A maxima and it is only 2". I hope I got a good deal.

ingtar_shinowa · 08/14/2012, 12:53 AM

Nice Maxima. I picked up one similar for $45. I know mine was from ORA, they often sell maximas of this grade and size for around that, depending on your LFS's markup.

Thanks!
You've got them all counted in this pic. I actually have 12 clams in this tank- the other 4 are on the right side and not pictured.

MBIETZ- Beautiful! Love the large maxima and large crocea you have.

MBIETZ · 08/18/2012, 01:30 AM

Thank you for the complement they are my favorite animals in my tank i like small clams but love big ones i want a big squami or big maxima for a center piece but it seems pretty hard finding maximas pushing 6" my gold one is a little over 6".

Awesome, awesome, stuff!

I see that you have these under an AI Sol. Would you be able to share your light schedule & intensities?

Thanks!

I think it's an acropora caroliniana but not positive.

Thank you and sure. My light cycle is simple:

Timmer 1: On at 8:00am, 100% 50min ramp up
Timmer 2: Off at 10:00am, 2% 50min ramp down
Lunar cycle on
