Talking Newest Addition: Giant Squamosa Clam!

Its been about a month since we started adding fish. All water tests have been stable including calcium. We started boosting calcium a little more and added this baby (ha!) last night. This little squammy is about 10 inches long and 6 inches wide when fully open. Cool, huh?




off topic...
We've named the center of the tank Times Square.... Only 2 chromis' are missing out of this pic.


Our next addition will be a Purple Sebae Anemone. The clowns need a house...

Thumbs up Big Clam

Yea.....
I picked him out before we even had a tank.
When the LFS removed him from their display, it looked totaly empty as it was their center piece.
First clam experience... you know they'll move on ya, if they don't like where they are.

We have ours placed were he is perpendicular to the flow of a power head, his mantle is flowing in the current.

Great addition to any tank, but they do get big.

Last night a buddy came over and nicknamed the new clam "Clamu." He's a SpongeBob fan...

Clamu was $239.99... err.. I mean $20

He looks pretty sweet in the tank...
