Um it looks like you have some very pretty maximas pictured. Hippopus clams aren't nearly as pretty and don't extend their mantles.
These are hippopus clams, while "neat" I don't think they're nearly as awesome as maximas:

The attachments shows pretty maximas (VERY pretty maximas). No, indeed, hippopus look very different from typical tridacnids, they are a different genus.
I knew this already, but maybe others didn't, so thanks for the clarifications!

Thanks for clearing that up

Not nearly as nice as the other clams. Thanks for having that corrected quickly. I could have made a big mistake based on the picture.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Just got the flight confirmation, the clams and our Bali cultured corals will be in Friday morning.
We've got 6 Hippo and 14 Derasa on the pack list, so for those that contacted me earlier this week let me know if you are still interested. I can hold the hippos until Saturday to give you time to say yes or no. After that its first come! |
