^^ that looks like it has some polyp?? lol.. whats the term for that??

bump for MORE>. and please label which clam is what etc..

Tridacna mantles sometimes have warts (also called protuberances). Here's a great article from [B]Reefkeeping [/B] online magazine that will help with clam identification:

I have a 20 Long (12" deep) with 2 65w pc and 20w of actinic. I had put him on this side of the tank orginally but when I added some new coral I moved him to the other side under the actinics, which he apparently didn't like because he moved himself back tot he orginal place climed up on the rocks and put his foot down.

i dont mean to jack, but so what is acutally fed as supplement??

the link posted about specified that clams do need feedings.. if so what will work??

Here is a few of mine.
