I am finally starting to understand people like Catherine and Tony who are clam addicted. The color of a coral is pretty much written in stone. A green digitata is a green digitata(with some slight variance due to tank conditions). Clams on the other hand are every bit as colorful as coral, but are infinitely different in their patterning. I tried a couple clams once before and both died within a couple months. Too soon in the tanks life for clams methinks. So I got discouraged on keeping clams for a while which proved to be a good thing as the tank matured to the point that it could sustain clams. Ive had four ( 2 maximas and 2 croceas) in the tank for a few months now and all appear to be doing well and showing new growth. A couple weeks ago I added another crocea and now RC just got in some small derasas(4"). These two will bring my total up to seven. At what point do I join the clamaddicts club? Keep in mind that they were in a shipping container less then 24hrs ago. I hope they will darken up some.
