Tell me whats the current lighting on that clam?

If you're asking about mine, lighting is 2x250 XM 10K's on a PFO HQI.

Forgot to mention that the photo was shot with flash. That accounts for some of the shot being a bit washed out. I can try to get another one without the flash later this week, if it'll make a difference for you.

New top down picture from last night of the same boring clam. Some sand is on it, as I was working in the tank.

Hey Marc,
Did you remove some zoanthids? =) I like the way it looks. It's beautiful. Are those aiptasia in between the zoanthids? I have 1 by a Zoa colony of mine. I don't think mine like it. I can't kill it though. =( I feel bad for it.

 

[melev]

No, I didn't remove any. It is just a current picture, taken from the front of the tank instead of from the rear.

Yes, I have tons of aiptasia. Tomorrow I'm going to feed them something delicious and deadly.

 

[MarineGirl411]

You can come get mine if you want. =) I feel bad for them. =( I know. I'm a wuss. Do they bother any of your corals? Mine is getting close to a micro. I guess when he gets closer, I might have to put some epoxy over him. =( I don't want to nuke my tank.

How high off the water ? Thanks

.....Soon MarineGirl411..........very soon

 

[Rovert]

Tank is a 72 bowfront, lamps are about 6" off the waterline. So figure 22" + 6" = 28" for distance from clam to lamp. Why the interest?

 

[Kalkbreath]

Not all clams like the same conditions, despite being of the same species.
...........(but thats a different thread).

Just following up......Thanks

Here's another picture, this time though I had to take action once I put the camera down.

Now the clam is happy and open again.

 

[MarineGirl411]

You're welcome mom. Hey Marc, wow they grew that fast?? SHEESH!

 

[melev]

Yeah. At night the clam would be mostly closed and you could see about 5 buds of zoanthids on the leading edge of the zoas. It was crazy but made me think they were building a bridge to span the gap soon. About 3 or 4 days later, the clam didn't open all day, so I had to rip them off the shell. Fortunately, that wasn't hard and the clam was happy again that evening and the next day she was open like normal.
