Yesterday evening I received a clam from my bosses wife. They were in a pet store and not having a salt water aquarium she like it but couldn't have it. So she bought it for me. I usually research everything I put in my tank quite a lot for 2 reasons. One this hobby is expensive enough without accidentally killing inhabitants. And two, these are live animals and I don't like it when my incompetence causes deaths.
So with that said, I was hoping some of you more experienced reefers could possibly ID this clam for me and let me know if it will be ok in my setup. He is a pretty cool little guy.
So what I know. It's got a purple and "beige" colour, cost 60 dollars, is about 3 inches in length.
What I have, 20 gallon tank, 4 24w T5HO, 1 14k, 1 10k, 2 actinic light fixture, aqua c remora skimmer, 2 550 gph power heads. The clam is placed about half way up, maybe 7-8 inches from the water surface. The only tank inhabitant I think may cause issues is the Sally light foot and possibly the royal blenny, he's an A$$ to my clownfish and the Sally.
Thanks Guys
