Thought some of you may enjoy this, I know I am.
After all the requests and kind words, I have edited this post with a shot of my full tank and a top down of both the gigas and my other clam, the crocea.
Tony- the gigas is the same one listed on this forum a couple of months ago. The new owner decided against keeping him (I still can't figure out why) the original owner contacted me because I showed interest before. I ended up making a trade with the original owner (long story).
The clam is huge, 13+" and what a chore moving it, but worth every minute. I wanted to get him in the tank without exposing him to the air. During the process I ended up keeping him under water the whole time but was not able to keep a lot of the water from getting on the floor! Boy was I glad the wife had already headed to bed. The clam is settling in well now, he seems more reactive each day.
Thanks again everyone.
