Default A living aquarelle painting

Here is my new addition, a Tahiti Ultra maxima clam. It's like a watercolor painting really...the way the colors are mixed together.

Paid 200$ with taxes for a 5" 1/2 clam..I must be crazy I am getting clam addicted!

At the beginning my copperband was kind of pecking at the shell and was showing a lot of curiosity to the clam itself I am glad to say that passed and it is now showing no interest, neither my trigger. That would be en expensive meal

That's an amazing pick Daniella! Glad to hear it wasn't made into a quick meal, my CBB scares me daily in a search for morsels in the tank.

Ugh, I soo want clams again. But my Flame Angel I'm sure will have dinner with them... The Angel such a nice fish tho. But just got a open brain too. We'll see how he does with that I guess...

oh that's a shame. When I saw my copperband pay lots of attention to the clam and pecking at the shell, I was really wondering which one I would keep and between a 200$ clam and a 45$ CCB that I love, it would be a tough choice.

Good luck with your open brain, maybe he'll turn out just fine. I already had a crocea for a year and half and no one was touching it, that's why I got the maxima.
