Show us your Clams.....

[Taipan]

I'll try and take a picture of the shell tonight when the light setting is near dusk. I understand what you mean by the she'll shape and texture. I'm certain it's not a Derasa. This particular clam is approx. 10" in width (flesh of mantle folds), and easily 14" in length, 6" tall (just the shell). The size of just the shell is approx. the size of a football.

Sorry to hear about your loss. It's amazing how we get attached to our display. btw - SO jealous of the size of the displays some have out West. lol

As for sharing/showing off online/CanReef.....I can understand some not wanting to share their little slice of the ocean. I know some are fairly private and don't want to share their little piece of solitude from the world.

A very diplomatic answer, of course. I am, on the other hand, just jealous and petty and whining because I couldn't have it in my own tank.

I am still away on holidays but think I figured out how to post pics and had some pics on my iPhone not the best quality pretty sure this is 4 of my 12 clams thanks for looking.

sweet clams all,...I need to get me a clam shipment and load my tank...should have kept a few last time I brought some in....

The general consensus among LFS and fellow hobbyists is that it's a Squamosa Clam. I learned something new today....after keeping for all these years.



P.S. - VERY Nice clams: kien and Ryanerickson. Keep them coming.

P.P.S. - Diplomatic is another term for.......
