Yes it is really colored like that, that's why I bought it, it's the coolest one i've seen at a store & I have no idea what kind it is. It's got very large scutes on the side of it's shell. I'll try to get a pic of it's shell later today, but these shots are from a cell phone.

If it is really red than you have something quite rare I would imagine. You should post a picture in the clam/mollusk forum on RC and see what they say.

Again...nice stuff.

How many chromis did you start with and how many do you have now?

How long have you had the chromis together?

Here are the best I could get. I didn't turn off quite all of the flow as I have a pump that's ready to fail & didn't feel like messing with it today...as I am working in the basement & pretty dirty right now. Also I don't agree that it is red. It's Brown with orangish pink circles with blue centre's with peach coloring. Either way it is a cool clam.

Nice growth on the sps and cool clams, your system seems really happy and stable. I can't wait to grow out my sps again, I really enjoy watching them grow even if it's slow!

Absolutely stunning.
I bet that was a lot of time and effort.

I started with 5 now I have 4. The 1 that died was a pinner from the beginning & I think the others didn't let him compete for food. There may have also been bullying, but if there was it was minimal because I didn't see it. I've had them for close to 1.5 years as they were the 2nd addition to the tank after the clowns.

Thx Doug, if I actually do decide not to bother with the big setup, maybe you might like him for your new digs up in the chuck.
