Common Name: Maxima
Scientific Name: Tridacna Maxima
Max size: 6 Inches
Tank size: Recommended in tanks >50 gallons
Food: Photosynthetic but benefits from
zoo & phyto plankton
Reef safe: Yes
Lighting Req: High. T5 or above
Placement: On rocks
Notes:
Should be placed middle to high up in the rock work depending on color intensity of mantle. Blue requires more light than green or brown. Largest color spectrum of all clams. Needs supplemental feeding for proper growth. Prefers moderate flow and will attach firmly to rock. Can be difficult to keep and is less hardy than other clam species. Tank size above 50 gallons is recommended due to potential size. Will reach maximum size in 5-7 years. Purchase clams over 3" in size as smaller has a high mortality rate. |
I'm pretty sure Maximas get bigger than 6" don't they?
