Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated. My tank is 2yrs old. Running LED's. Placed center of tank on a nice rock. Indirect flow very gentle. Mantel moves a tiny bit.
New T. Maxima?

Nice clam!

Thank you Rev

Any reason why my Clam only opens this much? I see others pics where they're open wide. Tomorrow will be a week in tank. Nothing's bothering it.
I think it's normal for this sweet piece to open only that much, it needs more time to feel at home. Did you make sure that there's no pyramid snails on its bottom...
Happy reefing!

Went over it with a magnifying glass-lol. Seems very content in that spot. Not sure if it's attached or not as I don't want to bother it.

How so? The rock is pretty much flat.

Nana that is perfectly fine for a clam to take its sweet and easy time to open fully so I would not worry at all. One thing I would love for you to do is wait for about a hour after the lights have been out and shine a flashlight at it and closely inspect it for pyramid snails, look real good they can be extremely small, do this for the next couple of days to make sure cause looking at it once you can miss it. I have had them many times and its not a problem to get rid of them especially on a small clam. Your clam is gorgeous and I just want you to be able to enjoy it for many years.

Ok just got done inspecting for p-snails using a magnifying glass. No snails! However the Clam has attached itself to the rock, good thing or no?
This is my second time owning a clam. My first one lasted 2yrs. It was a T. Crocea. Broke my heart when I lost it. Has taken me 2yrs to work up to getting another.
