Just 9. Once I have my GHA problem beat, I may consider adding a couple more small ones.


Christy,

I agree with you, the selection as of late is lacking. I've been lucky to find some nice pieces from other hobbiests, but nothing like what Pescador, or Quinster have.

Yeah, they must have gotten them a few years ago. Funny thing, a couple years ago I saw some seriously amazing clams, thing is I didn't have the money back then (they were fairly $$). Now I have the money and there are no clams I'm on the hunt now!!

I keep finding other really beautiful clams, e.g. Kari's clams, but either I can't accomidate them at this moment, or I can't get to wherever they are to be picked up. Lately as in the last two weeks, I've seen probably 6 clams I would happily aquire, if I had the space.

...nice job christy, you with all your pretty clam photos....now I want a bigger tank for more clams...darn....I guess I'll have to upgrate!

Old pictures, but, it's all I've got for now:

T. crocea


Also T. crocea


T. squamosa


Baby T. maxima (this guy is not so baby-ish anymore, I guess I need a new picture..)


The cluster (the two T. crocea seen above, and the baby T. maxima):


Some kind of commensal shrimp inside the T. squamosa:


The T. squamosa when I first got it:

Thanks - the squamy actually is now so big I cannot do a top-down shot of it and get the whole clam in the frame.

This thread is making me want to go and find me some new clams too Some very NICE pictures in here!!!!!!!

Clams are the main reason I started in reefing, got into SPS cause I figured if I have to keep parameters up for clams, may as well throw in some pretty colored sticks as well.
