Looks great Doug. Interestingly mine has not really opened since introduction into the tank. I'm not sure what's up with that. I don't see anyone harrassing him but on the offchance it is tankmate harassment I ended up moving him to the other tank last night. Only problem with that is the tank he's in now is BB so it was interesting piling up enough rubble around the clam to ensure he stays upright.

How long did it take for yours to open up?

So I guess it was someone in the tank he didn't like, he looks like this now:


Wee little maxima as one of his neighbours:


Not so wee maxima:

Mine was open the next morning.....good that you figured it might have been the tank or someone in the tank making yours un-happy......also good that you had options......they look good Tony!

Wow, some really nice clams! I will take some pics of my two. Need more!!!

-------------------
EDIT:

Ok, here they are. The gold teardrop Maxima photo is from January. The Maxima has turned sideways and is almost impossible to photograph where it is. The Squamosa photo I took like 5 mins ago.

Well some one called me a clam whore, not mentioning any names here..............RICK........ so I thought I should post some pic of what I have now. Also figured out that my Valintini Puffer had a little taste for any clam that was blue/purple & has been moved to the FOWLR. The last Crocea that he took a nibble out of is doing better every day but has a hole in its mantel right in the center, hope it will heal up.

Well on with the show....

Bad pic but hard to get all them in the shot from inside the tank


The newest 2 Crocea's



and the others





That last one is the poor little one with the hole in the mantel.

The one clam on the left in the top photo - looks like it might be a derasa - is gaping on you - if he's a derasa try moving him to the sand. I hate to say it but he's looking really rough at least in that 1st photo - maybe not so bad in that other photo but you might try repositioning him still and see if he perks up a little.

It has been like that since I got it from Rick, no matter where it is. I would have to ask Rick if it was always like that.
