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

And here's a reefslides show of clam pictures that you'll definitely enjoy:

Here's my baby

T. Maxima


and the same from top down


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.

Here's an older pic of it. The way it sits, it's hard to get a good pic of it right now.


Last month I put a hemi in it and added the racing strips to it.
