Hello all,
Just showing off my big beautiful Deresa (I think?) Between me and its previous owner, this clam is ~25 years old.
Also, here's a tictok I made with it.
I am thinking about a crocea or maxima clam for my 16 gallon biocube when my tank is established. I have some questions.
1) Which is easier to care for?
2) Could I even be able to put one in my biocube?

Hello, I am setting up my first-ever 125 gallon soft coral reef tank. I'm interested in buying a clam as they look very beautiful, and I heard they help as a form of natural filtration.
I was thinking of getting a Squamosa Clam or Maxima Clam, or some other beginner-friendly species.
I know...
We have a couple saltwater tanks set up for a couple years now. But about a week ago, we recused a large amount of coral, a clam, and an eel. But the clam seems to not want to open all the way. We have all the coral and the clam in our rescue tank and everyone else seems to be doing fine. Any...
Hello all!
The day my wife went into labor, I got a clam that would grow with my first child. I placed it in a rock crevice where I thought it would be protected and stable. It has now grown over 22 months and seems to be more pinched than before and it is touching rock with either side of its...
So, my Squamosa clam I’ve had for over a year has had bristleworms irritating it for the past week or so. I was fixing this by simply using a brush to brush off the bristle worms fro the shell. However for the past day, it has looked like this. I checked and there were no bristleworms under it...
Can someone help ID this clam. I have 3 others 2 maxima and 1 Darsa but mantles look nothing like this one. If you zoom in the bumps on the mantle have an opening and look like mini bi valves
I currently have a 25 gallon tank with an AI prime. It’s been serving me well.
I’ve started adding more SPS frags and might consider adding a BTA or a small clam. If I did this, I’m wondering if I should opt for a better light then? Such as a AI hydra 32 or a Radion XR15 G5 pro.
What light do...
Hi all reefers,
My crocea was 'sit on' by my bubble tip nem the last whole night, this morning I rescued it out and it looks weak, doesn't respond to light or touch and cleaner shrimp & snails start picking on it?. I'm not sure whether is it dead or still able to save? Pic shows it's in a...
Found this tiny blueish pinkish(I think, colorblind lolz) clam under my zoas. Which I also believe host a peanut worm(3rd pic). Not sure how long the clam 's been there but I don't understand how my tank even has a clam growing lol. Anyone know ID of this clam? I'm still trying to find it...

My tang is "surfing" one of my clams. Should I be worried or is he just playing? I have 3 clams and this is the only one the tang has an interest in. This is happening daily and the tang and the banghai seem to fight over the territory.
Just figured I would throw this funny picture out there, there is a pistol shrimp on the other side of my tank that this guy bonded with, then peaced out ✌️ because the den was too small. Ever since then he has paired with this clam. He Hangs out on it all day, and defends when fish come close...
I have this budget reef light I got off Amazon a while back. Anyways could I keep a derasa clam and if not what about a thorny oyster or a flame scallop? I know this isn’t the most intense light but could I raise it up with some rock? Thanks in advance!
I assume this is a clam because it opens and closes every now and then, but I don’t see any eyes. Bought it from a LFS as live rock, but it much have gotten mixed up. Any chance on ID/ how to take care of it in an establishing tank.
