Clam

Im not 100% on the species of the clam. i think its a maxima. it has a blue skirt with black dots with a gold/green center.

 

Maybe a brighter picture and a picture of the shell.

 

sorry it was taken with my phone. i cant get any of the shell cause its anchored sideways.

 

I was playing with the camera and ghosted the first one

 

Too me it looks like a crocea. They are rock boring clams and prefer to be in an indentation in the rock work, once they become acclimated to the lighting.

 

i put it up on the rocks and it jumped right off within an hour. ill try to move it again. lets just hope its not footed to the glass. Thank you

 

Better to try to place it on a flat surface on the sand bed, let it attach and then move it up. Once they start jumping off the LR, moving them or repostioning them is not a good idea IMO.

This clam loves intense lighting but is a bit more sensitive than maximas, derasea, or squamosas. IME. They need a longer acclimation time.

 

that sounds like a good idea
