I have some maxima and crocea clams and they have always done well. I had to clear out 25% of my tank to get him in. I will try and post pics later. Any tips on keeping a GIANT clam like this?
 
Oh yeah!
Get the best Calcium reactor money can buy.
Those Clams will suck the calcium out of your tank! and 10" is nothing for a Squamie, if you'll give it the chance it'll keep growing.

what is there max size?
 
I think I've heard of 16 and 17".
There is one I see in my dives that looks always much bigger than that.
I assume it is 19", but I have to measure to be sure.
Dont forget that the Clam is not only longer, it's also much wider than a Max or a Crocea.
 
monitor yoru calcium levels closely as a clam this size can drain your system pretty fast.
