CA (clamaddicts anonymous)
 

Clamaddicts Anonymous is for all that are clam addicted to gather and share experiences and hopefully lots a clam pics!.....

So.....*sigh*.......My name is Doug and Im a clamaddict(I know.....Im a Zoaholic too.....I have an addictive personality:mrgreen:)....it started innocently enough but as with any addiction it quickly turned into an obsession......one clam turned into two........then three......and now a clam tank plumbed into the main system is in the works(after I move).......I've got it bad:neutral:

few pics of my latest binge

If we are a member of the secret group..... are we still allowed to join this one also? :wink: :biggrin:

hard to believe there is not more shameless clam lovers out there :wink: lol

Clams are an expensive addiction. To support this vice you either have to be rich or work in a LFS :lol:

I'm waiting for doug to start the 'SPS junky' thread :)

"*-edited for cleanliness-*". Ooops i mean clams. he....he he... I really do love them, awesome pics too! Unfortunately I have none as I am only at about month 4-5 of tank life so too early for owning one. Will as soon as it is safe!

i had two clams but i had to give one to grizz cuz he had been harassing me for a few months that it would look better in his tank.
i have been goining through some serious withdrawls but i am waiting for the new tank to get more. but here are a few pics of my clams when they were in my tank

Yes, Leah....we can extend that membership over to this group.....do you have a clam you'd like to show me......I mean us......:wink:

Clams aren't that much more money than a colony of sps:biggrin:

nice shots Terry.....I especially like that pic with the clown goby:biggrin:

a couple more of mine

we all want to see your clam!

I don't recall the last time an SPS colony cost me $90 :neutral: Not saying they're not worth it, just noting that they can be a bit pricy is all :)

OK Doug, just admit it... You are just an addict of everything.

Great clams!!! Benefits to working at a LFS

did you just say that Kien?????:surprise:
the aussie colonies were $80 and $100:razz:.......I know..... I wish they were cheaper too....

I know I am Rick, but RA (reefers anonymous) seemed a little vague, given that this is a reef site:wink:
actually almost half of my clams came from other canreefers(fortunate to be in the right place at the right time)......

Here are mine, only 5 atm but always looking and wanting more, I am sure that would make me clam addicted.

Wow, okay those are expensive colonies. Unless they are massive I typically stick to the $40-$60 colonies :-)

Anyway.. less chatter, more pictures!

I'm not an addict, but here are my clams anyway :-)

Kien flat out I'm a little speechless right now...

Ya me too, I wish I lived closer to the city's so I would stand a chance to get some sweet colored clams like Kien and Doug. :mrgreen:

I managed to get a couple half decent pics...

My pictures suck!! Anyone volunteer to come teach me how to take better one's :lol::lol:

I dont know if mine are 'good' or not... I just stick my camera right into the water and take pictures that way. Underwater housings rule.

oh greg your pics are fine but i am quite sure that the big clam in your tank looked better in mine........

No my pic's are craptastic and the big clam looks great in person :razz:

WOW...nice clams everyone.

Here are two of mine.

Great shots Christy.....and top down to boot......you still got all your hair???:razz:

Yep, burned my forehead a bit though :razz:

Here is a Crocea I picked up right after Christmas. It was only about 2 inches at that point, but growing nicely.

http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w.../P10000781.jpg

I love your clam Christy, but I think it needs a trimming :surprise: Plus, it looks like someone has been eating your clam ?

Ahah :lol:, Great top downs there Christy!

ponokareefer have any top downs of that beauty?

Yeah my regal tang has continued his relentless attack in his quest for clam sushi. This one seems hit the hardest. I keep moving it around the tank but to no avail. I haven't decided what I'm going to do about it yet. :neutral:

I do need to scrub those hydroids off though, I wonder if they're an irritant to the clam?

Unfortunately not. I need to find a clear cup to take a picture through.

heres one nother:mrgreen:
