What makes people so against croceas and maximas?
I just finished reading "Giant clams in the sea and the aquarium by James Fatherree". It was a good book, and I believe he recommended Deresa or Squamosa as being the most hardy, but he didn't exactly say WHY crocea is a bad idea, other than that it's possibly the least hardy. That said....
I've seen alot of people with croceas that look great. Are you guys suggesting they're a bad idea in general, or just a bit more difficult, and not recommended to people who are new to clams?
Under what circumstances WOULD you recommend a crocea/maxima? I'm getting my 220 soon and I want to have a few tridacnids. I may start with the deresa, but I want to know what are the chances of eventually keeping a corcea/maxima.
Thanks all.
