| Rabid Wolverine Reefer   | Clams for Christmas well it seems a miserable week deserves a reward. a friend hit me up on a wonderful gift!! A Clams Direct shipment! one was beautiful Blue Maxima with a dashed pattern and great color. the other was a gorgeous monster Crocea!! it was listed as 4.5" but is closer to 5.5". They came in at 10AM very well packed and warm (was around 30 degrees outside). After a careful drip acclimation, they were introduced into the tank with the lights low at around 12N. they opened up almost immediately and appeared very healthy! these pics were taken at appox 5:30PM. this is the Maxima
