That's some nice closeup!

I just added a third Crocea.

The new Crocea is the first clam on the left side.

I will be receiving a Gold Maxima at 1 1/4" to 1 3/4" tomorrow as I have one more place along the left front substrate ready to set this one.

Photos on the way on my new Crocea and new Maxima.

This will make three of each species to filter nitrates.

Just picked up this badboy at the LFS. Its a 5" Maxima picture is not so great but it has some white to it.

Finsky · 11/15/2011, 08:57 PM

That is a very nice specimen.

I just acclimated my 1 1/4" gold Maxima tonight in the dark.

The living rook lights are out and only the light above the kitchen sink is on which leaves the tank almost completely dark.

The little fellow had a foot on him about 1/2" which I buried in the crushed coral along the left front substrate with live rock on the left and right side to prevent flyovers of fish knocking it over constantly.

I had to coral my Blue Cook Island Maxima in the center front substrate with a piece of live rock on the left and right side. I used to have to right him once and a while and now he maintains himself upright without any regular assistance from me.

Failed on the first clam but seems to be going much better second time around

Houndsbayman · 11/30/2011, 07:46 AM

Here is an older shot of my clams, have since added one more.

Truly awesome

I rarely post, but this thread struck a cord with me as clams are my passion. You all have some insane clams and I have clam envy!

Here are some of my mostly maximas:

And my favorite:

moliken · 12/29/2011, 04:35 PM

don't be envious. you have some stunners. love the gold maxi next to the zebra. not a bad crocea either.

ShaunMonahan · 12/29/2011, 05:26 PM

Thanks. One can ever have too many clams.

Apon · 01/06/2012, 03:37 PM

Nice stuff everyone! I opened a thread but I guess I should place the pics here too.

Nice maximas you have there Apon.

Apon · 01/12/2012, 06:13 PM

thanks! you too. Not all Maximas, there are crocea and deresas in there as well

Finsky · 01/12/2012, 08:28 PM

I have two maximas and three croceas.

Would it be feasible to put a deresa clam in my tank which can grow to a length of 24"?

Do they grow to that size in an aquarium?

Do the Maximas reach 12" and the Croceas reach 6" in an aquarium?

I could do another crocea on the front crushed coral substrate where the others are located as there is 200 lbs of live rock going back towards the back glass the length of my tank.

jdthomas · 01/25/2012, 06:28 PM

This one's pretty old. Here's a derasa we had many years ago.

Sun357 · 01/29/2012, 03:00 PM

Awesome looking clams! All these great pictures now i'm wanting a clam badly. lol
