I think a little over 12".

I'm clearing all the rocks from that side of the tank to make room for her to grow.

lol I would be the first to admit I have a clam addiction.

10 of my maxima's are all identical. I ordered 2 5 clam combo's from an online vendor and they sent me all identical clams. There is nobody in my area that keeps clams and my lfs isn't advanced enough to carry them either. So now I don't know what I am going to do with them.

Clam's #25 and #26 should be here tomorrow 2 VERY nice crocea's
