It would be nice to know what kelvin (assumed MH) bulbs are being used in these clam systems. I ran mine under 6500k bulbs and supp. atinic and the clam went from light blue to blue/black.

Tridacna mantles sometimes have warts (also called protuberances). Here's a great article from Reefkeeping online magazine that will help with clam identification:

Here's my baby

T. Maxima

and the same from top down

I have a 20 Long (12" deep) with 2 65w pc and 20w of actinic. I had put him on this side of the tank orginally but when I added some new coral I moved him to the other side under the actinics, which he apparently didn't like because he moved himself back tot he orginal place climed up on the rocks and put his foot down.
