New Clam (pics)
Hello, I wanted to share pics of my new clam. Its a 5" crocea that was wild caught from the christmas islands. I got it from the lfs I work at. A customer ordered it and never picked it up so my boss gave me a deal I couldnt refuse. I was a little nervous about getting a new one after a bad batch of b-ionic killed my maxma and derasa but he looks great so far. Its under 5 39w t-5s in a 40g breeder. Alk is 3.77 and cal is 400. Bulbs are as follows: two fiji purple, two powerchrome actinics, and one powerchrome daylight. Let me know if you have any tips. My evil monocular ocellaris clown is also pictured staring me down. Enjoy

your t5 lighting is plenty for crocea's but you should move it up on the rocks.

I agree it should be on the rocks>>>> Crocea's are found in rockwork not sand...
Here's a pic of my new one, Imoved him up on the rockwork after a couple of days and he loves it.... |

I know a lot of you are saying croceas on the rocks but mine don't ever attach themselves on the rocks so i set them in the sand and they seem to like it there. Although i do have one large crocea on the rocks that is very happy there.

Could be PM. My two came down with PM a few days after there addition a year ago. I set up a "carbon reactor" (similar to a phosban reactor, but with much greater flow) and ran like 3 cups of carbon for my 40g tank. It cleared up. This has worked for others as well. If it looks the same tomorrow please do something.
GL. It's a beauty! Angela
