it is preference, but I would put it on a piece of rubble, so you could move if you wanted, with minimal stress.

put him on a old dead plate coral i had in the garage. when i moved him onto it he had one thread that had just barely attached to bottom glass when i picked him up he closed shut quickly and came right off the glass hope no harm was done. his has positioned himself on the dead coral and is fully open again all looks normal i scrubbed him with a tooth brush too he has some orange sponge and some barnicles on him as well as macro algae my hermit were cleaning the shell last night

let me just say i am lacking at taking pics , the top pic is my blue squammy about 4-5 inch bottom shot is the clam i was talking about on this post my new teardrop, my blue linkia seems to have found something he likes on the clam shell he cruises it all the time
a420: thanks for the help my friend

no problem it sure does look like your star has found something tasty, my crabs will swarm a new clam to clean his shell.

i love that squamie, nice color.

when you get a top down of the maxima email it to me and i'll add it to the thread.

Looking good man! I gotta check your tanks out some time, you need to see my 400g system running now too, it sweet, only a couple of corals right now but its ready so I will be collecting for a while. This time around I am keeping the tanks how they are, NO more changes... I have like tank ADD, I couldent make up my mind lol.

chelskisw6: Me too i stare at him from way to much, im really enjoying this maxima too, he is huge cant wait to have the two clams as the focal piece of my display, i want to get a bigger tank, as of now the 75g will do but im running out of room for frags i promised myself i would go bigger until i buy my 1st home but i have to wait to grad. from school.
