i dont know how this ever got started. Derasa clams are most commonly found up on the reef. ive read population studies and they all indicate that they are found on the reef amongst acropora corals. SOME can be found at the base of the reef and they are thought to have fallen from current or wave action.
a 72g tank is kinda tall, it mat be fine on the bottom but will probably do better higher in the tank

your larger blue clam is a crocea not a derasa and the smaller clam is a gigas not a squamosa

Thanks C&B - I only know what my LFS told me. How do you know what is what? I can figure out what the Maxima's look like by their patterns, but the rest look very similar.

he knows. a way you can check is by looking at the shells. i thought my clam was a maxima until he told me right away it was a crocea. in my case, croceas have a smoother shell than maximas
