How’s my first clam looking?

[Spkarim]

About 1 year into my first reef tank with coral and fish doing pretty well, I decided to take the plunge and go for a clam at my LFS store.

it’s probably about 3 inches, told it was a maxima.

it is sitting on a small rock on top of the sandbed, in a 40g breeder with a 300 watt Chinese LED light set at 100% blue, 40% white.

I’ve had it for probably a couple weeks now.

Does it look OK? Shall I leave it where it is? It has a very brisk light response. (It even knows when I approach the tank, haha)

thanks

Thank you!

Looks good, would like to see a bit more mantle extension but many times it takes a while to fully settle in. Just don’t fuss with it! If it’s not moving around and falling over that’s about as good sign as you can get!

Love the color of your clam
