Sqamosa turning blue?

[Rockhead21564]

I've had a 6" squamosa for about 8 months. I bought it because it sat at the store for about 3 months and nobody would buy it and I felt sorry for him. He was tones of gray and not attractive, except to me. Well, he's slowly turned to a tuquoise on the edges. Is he turning blue or am I getting excited for nothing.

clams can loss their color when stressed or under the wrong light. congratulations :rollface:

Well, I'm not thinking he's streesed, especially since it's been a slow change and he's been in the same tank the whole time (reef, not clam tank) and same position. Are you being sacastic? If not thanks, but it's only 1/2" so far,lol. Good things don't usually happen to my tank, work and research are the only things that work,lol.

Blue edges are not uncommon for squamies. Doesn't mean the whole mantle will turn blue.

I think he was talking about stressed from shipping and the light at the pet store.....


BTW do you have a pic or are you just going to tease us?

Yeah we want some pics.

Sorry, about no pics, I'll work on getting them together. Hey, he's turned greenish throughout the rest of the mantle, grey is going away, funky color now. Good sign or what? lol, getting pic's. Sorry

 

[Julio]

well, they are not known to turn color so quickly unless there is some sort of distress.

Well, I checked water parameters and all are good. Lights are great and he hasn't been touched or moved in 6-7 months. No fish to bother him - no angels or butterflys and only yellow watchman goby - rest are tangs and such. I'll try for a picture today, not very good at them,lol.
