2014-05-03 Livestock Spotlight- Clam again!

Disclaimer- I do not recommend anyone purchase this clam, unless you are an expert:

maxima clam
I am sharing this image truly in honor of God's great creation on how beautiful these creatures are.
Look at the turquoise and gold trim with the blue green center mantle.
The reason why I do not recommend any ordinary reefer to purchase this claim is because of its size- a mere 2 incher.
I am not saying it is impossible to keep. But from my observation and forum reading- very few have successfully been able to kept and grown small clams, especially nutrient and light craving maximas. 
But, if you have a tank with adequate amount of nutrient, lighting that rivals that of the sun, and a constant source of phytoplankton- the key food for juvenile clams.
So, if you have the stomach for it, please go for it and let us know the progress of this little guy's growth.
