I have had a lot of clams - lost some, and have kept many. One of the biggest things I noticed is don't move them unless absolutely necessary. Also, if they tip on their side, try to gently right them or frequently they don't get enough light on their mantle. I have 3 maximas now (yours are amazing and I love them!!!). All have done well. I had one maxima that I loved for 2 years and then he just up and died. I was terrified it was pinched mantle, but it wasn't because no other clam died. I had a few small ones in my prop tank recently die because they were on their sides and I did not check on them for a few days. Now, I try to keep them in baskets with pebbles to anchor their feet to (humm, is it feet because it is plural? or just foots. Great clams Scott!! Your tank looks great and I get the same reaction from my nieces.
