You mean crocea clams right..?

Try these:

http://www.reefcorner.com/SpecimenSheets/crocea.htm
http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.u...article_id=195
http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/cav1i3.../Clam_care.htm

That should get you started...

If you google "Tridacna crocea" you should get plenty of hits.

They are the smallest of the tridanid family, but perhaps the most colourful. Very similar to T. maxima although there are subtle differences in the bump structures on the mantles.

In my experience they tend to be the most sensitive of the tradacnids.

I've been googling all afternoon without much luck actually.

I'm going to take a look at those links now. Thank you!
