I feel stupid, i ended up getting this clam because i felt sorry for its old home. All i know about it was that they called it a "golden clam"
It is about three and a half inches, and is fully extended (i think) under the lights i have.
i am hoping its a Squamosa, because of lighting issues at home. It is parked exactly eight inches from my PC's and is happy, open, and retracting when any fish goes near. My calcium is good, my water perameters are in range...(nitrates are there, which i heard was good for these guys) I have phytoplanton to feed, if i need to and from what i have been reading i do need to.
I don't use addatives anymore, i used to but found water changes were much better for the corals i keep and the dosing was really rough on them.
This is a 46 bow, with a few damsels, and three little percs. there is roughly 40-50 pounds of rock, a 3-4inch sandbed, sloped to the front and the tank is in really good shape.
ANYWAY, I need an ID please! what is this? Squamosa? Maxima?
what have i got, and do i need to find a mh sometime soon?
It is under 192Watts of PC, one 10000k, one actinic....
go ahead, give me the bad news, couldnt let it die where it was.
BUT had to try right?
