Largest known captive Tridacna clam ?

I'm not sure what the absolute largest is, but the Waikiki aquarium has the largest I've ever seen.

Notice the two full grown tangs swimming by the clam in the middle. There is also another huge clam hidden behind a few red corals to the right of the two clams in the center. The perspective of this shot is a little bit misleading. It was shot diagonally down the tank so the things on the left side are much closer (and look bigger) than on the right.

Wow. You can appreciate the size when you consider the size of the tangs. Do they use natural light ?

They use natural light via skylights but also supplement with metal halides.
