Pics from my latest trip to the Waikiki Aquarium, the shot isnt the most colorful but the size is amazing.



They have a vanishing tank as well, quite stunning.

Reef that Gigas is huge!

Ram most bristleworms that you see in your substrate and rock will not harm a clam. They are often blamed because if a clam is on the way out they head in and start cleaning up. That is why they are good. If they are going in then the clam would not have made it.

Some aussie clams:

Photo credit goes to "junk" of RTWA. Photo was taken just off Orpheus Island, off Townsville, where they were first aquacultured here in the late-1980s

I don't think there's clam aquaculture here in Australia anymore. It was banned a long while ago. There was a huge project to save the clams, which involved mass relocation via boats on the GBR.
