Here are two of mine a year ago...

and here they are today...

As you may see in the first picture, I struggled a little with PM. So there IS hope in treating them (once again, thank you Mmbuna!)

Better late then never to add in to all the fun granted there a few big ones but I too can compete with the best ?!? well I would like to think anyways... lol Enjoy!!

This is my 360 gallon system as a whole the gigas on the left of the pic takes up better then 21/2 feet of tank space so juge for yourself on size he was last weighed in at 60lbs....hehehe

My two tangs here give a vauge idea to size even though they are blocking most of the clam but they are full size tangs not babies....

here is one just of the clam looking down at an angle for him...

I will have to take some pics of my derasa and squams and put them up here in a few days so check back and let me know what you think.. Happy reefing everyone!

Honestly he hasnt ever open up much past an approx. foot and a half .. He still has wonderful mantle groth and seems not to have any major problems, now my smaller one seems to open up much wider but the shell has been constructed differently. On the big one, the shell curves outward and then more in and up; whereas, the smaller one tends to be more open outward. My thinking is honestly when they start reaching a certain size then it grows more to fit the way the larger one looks, but i could be wrong and always enjoy feedback so thats my shot in the dark at it .

Happy Reefing everyone and the CLAMS ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!

The giga? I thought there was only one color for giga...green w/ blue dots?

CaptiveReefer03 · #74 09/21/2006, 11:59 PM

no actually there are 4 color types that I know of green , yellow , brown and blue being the rareity... the dots are usually either green or blue , purple sometimes depending on lighting and which way your looking at them... thats why i was asking cause I have always wanted a green or yellow! blues are too much $$ lol .. so my next option was the green or yellow ones...which i havent found outside of pics in books and such..

Foster · #75 09/22/2006, 12:04 AM

I did not know that. Blue, I would love to see picture of a blue one.

He looks green to me. I purchased him from reefermadness 2 years ago simply as a "giga".
