Cool looking clam. I hope it stays that color also.

WOW! :eek1: I've never seen a blue squamosa clam before! Thanks for the pic

Don't worry. It'll keep its color. I've had this one for over a year now and it hasn't changed in coloration.

 

[Julio]

now that is a squamie!!!

How do you get does great top down pics. All of mine come out with the reflection from the lights.


By the way that is a great looking clam

How big is he???

 

[Reef Pinoy]

Thanks guys.

It's 5x3 inches and starting to grow like crazy (I recently upgraded my lighting to 250W DE AB 13K and added a PM Kalkreactor).

For top down pictures of my clams I do one of two things:
1. Move my MHs to a good angle. I have an open top with suspended pendants.
2. Turn off all my pumps. Suspend a piece of acrylic on the surface of the water and place the camera lens against it. I got this idea after reading somewhere that others use scuba face masks with their cameras. I may get an acrylic box made for my camera one day.

Clams do not turn colors. What you may see is more blue just because of the reflection of a bluer light. It has nothing to do with the clam morphing into a new color.

My clam went from gold to green

clams do turn colors just like corals do based on the intensity of the lightingg you have them under.
