Past Pictures of Your Clams - Page 11

Thanks dvmsn,

As for the good livestock, I wish that were true..

I personally have a lot of difficulty finding quality livestock in Montreal. Very few vendors offer SPS corals and clams. Most SPS is wild caught or marlcultured (very hard to find true aquacultured SPS) and most clams are small and "generic" blue maximas or croceas.

All the clams pictured above were specially ordered through my LFS and cost me a lot of $$$
for shipping. They usually take a beating when shipped due to the very cold whether most of the year.

Same clams but pictures taken with underwater case and flash.
The colors show a lot more

delphinus · 01/27/2009, 02:40 PM

WOW .. That first one, in particular, is amazing!

The last one is a Squamosa that I got for $21 at a LFS about 4 years ago. He was about 3" when I got him and now he is about 10"

Here are a couple of pics I took a month ago, having fun with macro; new clams have been added since then, will post more pictures later.

Very nice Miles!

How many clams do you have in the clam tank and what size is the tank? How about a FTS!

Right now there is 14 clams, 4 croceas, one squamosa, and 9 maximas.
The FTS is the first pic, unsless you wanted to see the tank and around?

scrapING · 03/13/2009, 08:05 PM

This one was my baby just passed away do to my light falling in sump trick along with half my sps

This little guy is a fraction the size but a nice start to my new clam collection.

moneyman6891 · 03/28/2009, 06:54 PM

My first and only clam as of now. About 2-3 inches.

Fsurocks99 · 04/08/2009, 08:04 PM

Here are my two clams:
First my crocea

(this is a really bad pick, it is a lot more colorful)
And last my recently acquired maxima

And here they are together

Fsurocks99 · 04/15/2009, 08:52 PM
