Default Clams! Let's see them! :)

Ok, I think we need a current thread dedicated for clams!!

Definitely a weakness for me! Here are some of mine.















Here's a new guy I just picked up last week which I thought was really pretty:




Here are some shots sharing the frame with a blue max:

Very nice Brent. Tell me more about your Frogfish, PM me if you can please. They are just some of the most amusing fish!

I just picked the frogfish from *removed* up last weekend. Given how shallow the clam tank is I wanted something that doesn't jump and would be compatible with clams, urchins and SPS corals. I have always found frogfish interesting and figured it would be ideal for this tank since he is the only fish in it.

I've only had it a couple days now and it is already getting more grey and green to blend in better. *removed* told be to wait a couple weeks before feeding it since it had a couple chromis on Friday. It is taking food by hand so I won't need to provide it with live food.

I flipped back and forth on whether to get one. I've been warned people quickly get bored of a fish that doesn't move and changes colour to camouflage in with the tank.

I really like your top clam.

Thank you.

I saw those frogfish when I was last there and REALLY debated adding one to a system in the future. They are just so awesome, regardless of their lack of movement/colour changing antics.

My clam likes to hide in a patch of GSP.

I need A clam!!

The last two times we have gone to town there weren't many to be had, just one or two here and there and I really want one that I pick out, not just ones because it's there ya know? They are all so beautiful and individual. Oh well, patience is something you learn in this hobby
