| Sunshine Reefer   | Re: New maxima! Quote:
I'm not sure I would say hard to keep but they do have their requirements and maximas for some reason are harder to keep in captivity than most. They need a lot of light and some say they prefer a slightly (slightly) dirty system. Read up on them before getting them and keep in mind that most clams get large and some get HUGE. Be sure you have the right environment and they can be wonderful additions to a reef. I have 2 crocea and 1 maxima and now I really want a squamosa. Can you tell I like them?

| Serpent Star   | Re: New maxima! I just got my new maxima today. I will post pics tomorrow. While I was placing my clam in the tank, my clown fish went medieval on my hands, so I instinctively swatted at them, hitting my anemone. I have fed and touched my anemone for over two years now and have never been stung. He/she stung me. Kinda cool actually. I did not notice it until after about 30 seconds. Kinda like a mild fire ant sting. Just wanted to share that story.
