Wish my corals looked as good. I always thought clams were harder to keep, but I seem to have good luck with them.
Happy Clam

Yeah, small hermit. The clam though is probably 5-6 inches across. So the hermit isn't that small.

Me too, but I don't have the lighting for one. There is one or two clams that can survive on lower light but I don't how much they need for sure.

Usually you will need T5 or MH for clams.The Derasa clam don't need as intense lights,so they say.

No Derasa's are different colors and I don't think they have the ridges on their shells. Sorry to say but from what I have read a clam like that will slowly die over a periiod of a year or so. I think they need MH or t-5.
