New clam and SPS

[robbyville]

Thanks guys, and don't worry about hi-jacking the thread, the more the merrier!

I purchased the maxima at J&L's ($40), the funny thing is that the web site mentions new derasa clams, but it was sold to me as a maxima. Could be a mistake but normally they are pretty good about these things! The clam is yellow and gold, and pretty smooth on the outside which does not seem to be like a maxima, but the edges have a tinge of deep blue. I will try to post a pic later.

It is open, with the mantel slightly extended beyond the shell, it is definitely NOT puffy though, quite thin with extension about a millemeter or so beyond the shell. This is how he was at the shop as well. I attributed this to new tank, though. Do I have a problem?

Please let me know your thoughts!
