My new crocea(i think) First clam in my tank

[john37]

i only put it in a couple hours ago so it seems a little skittish when fish swim by. If it's not a crocea please tell me. Thanks.

hi John, it is indeed a crocea, can't wait to see pics of it fully opened up!

wow nice crocea ( definitely is ), that look's like an interesting pattern on the mantle. what color is he? ( hard to tell under the actinic ). when he's ready please post a top down picture.

i dont run actinics, they're 20k radium bulbs....he's pretty blue.

i bet with a regal, personifer and imperator

i actually took all my clam nipping fish out (except the regal, she seems harmless)

here's my tank thread

i went w/a new route...mostly all reefsafe now.

since i took a pic today just thought i'd do a 2month update.

also, it looks like the shell may be growing i used a red box to show where it looks like an inner shell. do they grow layer by layer?
