New Clam


I have been wanting a clam for the longest time. I just received my first orange deresa from saltwaterfish.com. I'm in the process of acclimating him. Once he is in I will post a pic. Thanks for all of the wonderful information!!!

Everything is good so far. He's closed up inside the bag. I'm going to keep him in there just a bit longer to make sure the transition is easy.

Question?


If the clam was closed when I took him out of the bag and did not squirt me in the eye, then there should be no chance that he has any air bubbles...correct?

Here are the pics...he's not quite as orange as he was online. They probably had him under special lighting.

Spectacular MG! I wish you could Frag a Clam

I don't see any really nice ones around here, but I do keep my eyes open. I buy the cool ones I see.
