Here is our big guy from the DT. Mr. Tang was captured and put into a hospital tank for a week since he was showing signs of stress in these photos. He's back to 100% and reunited with his friend the giant clam!

IS that clam huge or is the tang very small?
Gorgeous colors.

Clam is HUGE, over a foot long - note the little SPS frags around him.

Beautiful.

Congrats on the success with a gorgeous clam.

Great clams everyone, I hope to someday have the required lighting for these guys. Who would've thought they would be nice to eat and lok at,lol.

Nice Mike! Thanks for posting

That is one large Derasa Drew! Breaks my heart to see that birds nest on the sand like that

They were upright in the sand on the ORA frag plugs... and VERY happy there until the clam decided to take a walk that night. All the nests have been moved up to higher, safer ground, and the clam has found a home under his new light.

Lesson learned, don't put corals, or anything else for that matter, between big clams and a new light!

Sweet clams i really want a T. Deresa, but I can't seem to find any in a LFS. does anyone know of a good place online to order them?

Frankie · 12-08-2007, 10:30 AM

Here are a few pics of my clams. Unfortunaltley, I have jealous fish. Anytime I break out the camera, they think it is photo shoot time.

I dont know why but Jose (BSJF) LOVES my big clam. He will lay in it all day. He has tried to do so in my little clam, but the little guy wants nothong to do with it. Sorry for the poor Photo Quality.
