In a little bit of a unique situation here. I got zoanthids/plays growing on my crocea clam shell. It’s getting to a point where they’re starting to cover the mantle. My current remedy is irritating the zoas so they close for a period of time, but I can only do that so often. I can’t use kalk...
Hello, I added mussels to my aquarium for the first time. This is its second day and it is responding to the reactions. He looks good except for his mouth. Is this much mouth opening normal?
Also in local lfs it said maxima but I think it's crocea. Can someone with knowledge about mussels help?
I just got this ultra crocea shipped from Biota and noticed that the mantle is damaged once it opened up. Does this look like a pinched mantle? What can I do to help the damaged mantle heal? How long does it take for the mantle to heal?
I'm a bit peeved that I was shipped a damaged clam...
My crocea clam has detached from its original rock. It is still on the rock but its foot is not attached to the rock.
Should I be worried?
1. Its mantle is still opening up and it is still reacting to the light.
2. Foot looks clean after inspecting for any bugs.
Hello everyone. I have been looking at small crocea clam for my 20g nano tank. It's under 4months old with about 50 corals that's growing at a decent rate. Running a pretty high tech tank, with ALL FOR REEF dosing and kalkwasser dosing at night to keep ph above 8.
Ph 8.2
Alk 8-8.5
Cal 420...
Hello,
I just received a cleanup crew shipment and in one of the bags with a whole mess of dwarf ceriths there was what looks to be an extremely small clam. It's no bigger than a centimeter and I'm wondering if anyone knows if it will get larger or remain small. I placed it in my sand bed...
The bottom part of my crocea clam shell isn’t connected and there’s quite a bit of gap between the left and right side of its shell.
Is this considered gaping?
P.S: Mantle still opens up and it is still reacting quickly.
Hello, all!
I have a black and white maxima clam, about 2.5" that I have had for about two months.
I started her out in the sand to acclimate in lower light, she stayed there for about a month seemingly happy and opening appropriately.
I took her from the sand (blue circle) and placed her on...

Hey what’s up everyone. Recently got a derasa clam from ORA. Arrived at what looked like a slight rip in the mantle. For whatever reason today, seems like it’s more torn? I don’t suspect anything in my tank harassing the derasa as I’ve had a crocea for the last 6 months with no issues. Does this...

I acquired this noea clam about a week ago, it was healthy when it first came into the tank, but yesterday I noticed that its mantle had turned like this. I've been checking on him every day for a week and there are no snails or any anemones to sting him.
My water parameters are N 5 P 0 KH8.7...
Hi everyone, I have a question about the degree of mantle unfolding in giant clams. I wonder if the degree of mantle unfolding and the shape of their mantle is the same between each individual of the Squamosa. I watched online videos and found that their mantle can extend so much beyond the...
How’s this clam look I picked it up from Petco for 33 after the sale… I know it’s a derasa clam I did some research as Petco had it for a week before I got it and I waited till it went on sale so I know that they can do highlighting just seeing if anyone can recommend any advice that may be...
Picked up a nice Maxima at a swap yesterday. He has been reactive to light changes and hasn’t been closed, but I came down today and saw some “white-ish” circles on some of the flesh. Is it being bleached? Have it right under an XR15 running 50% AB+ in my frag tank. I’d say around 200 PAR...
Hello,
I’m kinda new to the saltwater hobby, having my tank for about 6-7 months now and I just noticed this mollusk type animal on my glass.
Can anyone tell me if it should be removed, if it harms my corals or fish maybe, or if it’s just a cool new addition to my tank?
Any help would be...
Hello,
Im kinda new to the aquarium hobby, having my saltwater tank for about 8 months now, and I noticed this mollusk type animal on my glass.
Could anyone tell me if it’s a parasite or just a new addition to my tank?
Any help would be appreciated thank you
Hey guys, I have a derasa clam who’s been doing great for over a month now. The other day he developed a hole in his mantle — so I’ve performed a fresh water dip and relocated him )”(unsure if something may have messed with him).
After the dip, I noticed a bunch of snail shells around him...
