Hello, I have bought a blue hippo tang, and after being in my QT for about 2 weeks, I have started to notice two white dots appearing on the fish (have been there for about 1 1/2 weeks). One (the largest of the two dots) is on its left pectoral fin. The other dot is just in front of its caudal...

This is a quote from an article online I was reading: "T. crocea is known as the Boring Clam because with contraction and relaxation of their byssal muscles, they burrow into boulders and coral heads. Once burrowed, they use their byssal threads to hold themselves in place. Usually only the top...

Alot of articles I have read on Tridacna crocea say that they are a burrowing clam. They will bore into rocks. They are the smallest of the Tridacna clams growing to a max of 6 to 9 inches.

How long would it take for the clam to bore a hole? I know they secrete some enzymes that eat away at rock, but I did not read how long it takes.

Ahh, that would make sense. If it does not work placing him on the rocks, I will put a flat rock in the sand bed for it to hold on to.

Nice pics. Those are some nice clams.

Mine does open more than what is in the pics. Those are old pics. Those were from when I first got it. My clam also seemed to start to lie on its side when in the sand bed, thats why i decided to try it on the rocks. This is why I made the thread, I have heard many different opinions as to...

I have had the clam for about a month, and it has not bleached, and is not showing any signs of stress. I had it in the sand bed, but moved it to the rock work yesterday.

I have 250 watt metal halide, with T5 suplemental lighting.

I was just wondering where people place their crocea clams. I have heard and read mixed ideas of placing in the sand or on the live rock. I have attached 3 pictures of the clam. I was told it was a crocea clam. The first two pictures are with the flash off, and the third is a pic with the flash...

It will not necessarily make the BTA "healthier". What a clown does that helps out a BTA is bring it food. It is more natural for the BTA to have a clown hosting it, but BTA's can survive well without a clown.

If you still have the LR for sale I am interested. Please email me. mike.grzy@gmail.com

I have T5's and a 250 watt Metal halide 15k bulb

Thanks for the response. I just got this from a LFS a couple days ago. It just keeps wandering/floating around my tank. It will not bury its foot or attach to anything.

Is it bad for my LTA's mouth to look like this? I just got it a few days go.

I was wondering if it is normal for a LTA's mouth to look like this?

Thanks for the quick response. That is what I was thinking. Thanks a bunch.

I just got some frogspawn frags and there are 2 separate pieces with 2 heads on each piece. It is the branching rogspawn. Should I supergue the frags to a rock, or just place the frogspawn in my tank?

Also, how long have you had them?

I would be interested in the pair of clowns. If you could send me some pics to mike.grzy@gmail.com I am from Milwaukee. Thanks, Mike
