and plenty of filteration


what is a good starter clam ?
would like something with some nice blues or greens or both

will be housed with :

sps corals, a hippo tang, a percula clown, an eilib's angel,
and a mandarin, also a GBTA, zoa's and a couple softies.

derasa, but you can keep maxima as a 1st ith that lighting.
Try a crocea later, they are the most light demanding.
But with your lighting you are o.k for clams.

angels are notourious nippers

While I don't know anything about that specific species, mbbuna is correct, angels are well known as a 50/50 shot for being problems with clams.

 

[Brad524]

ok nix the angel

will try a maxima and let ya know

A maxima or a squamosa would be a good choice. Both are fairly hardy.
