Hippo Clams Coming November 4!

[reefermadness]

I thought those clams looked like Maxima in the picture. I also wanted to find out more about the hippo clams because they are not available in the trade very often.

I found this site

http://animal-world.com/encyclo/reef/clams/tridacna.htm

apparently these hippo clams arent even of the tridacna family....

This is a picture of a hippo clam...


and more info on the hippo clam.. http://animal-world.com/encyclo/reef...ppopusClam.php A little less blue then the maxima picture but rare and nice in a different sort of way.
