Saturday morning the wife and I had to travel to Lubbock and naturally we stopped at my favorite LFS before heading home. My friends there have set up a excellant clam display and I found a sweet little ORA raised golden maxima that I could not resist. I tried to get a few pics of the little 2" clam but sadly they didn't turn out ... but for now I can share pics of my squamosa(6") and my derasa(5")...eventually I'll get a presentable shot of the golden maxima....but sometimes clam pics are hard to get.
Here is the derasa...

...and here is my squamosa...this guy was purchased about 15 months ago and was only 2"-3" when I got him...since placing it under the new MH's the coloration has become much better...previously it was under 4x65 10K PC's & 2x110 actinic VHO's...now the lighting is 2x400 10K MH's & 2x110 actinic VHO's...In time I hope to add one more clam ... another maxima...probably blue ... to go along with the squamosa/derasa/golden maxima....one of the motivations behind building the new system was the desire to keep a few more clams...

The rest of the pics I have are assorted looks at some of the corals I've transferred from the old 55...first up is my orange colored rics...its hard to tell from the pic but there is a small baby at the top and its starting to look like both the large ones are getting ready to split. Not a great detail look...but its somewhat presentable.

diddley...on the candy cane the color was much more reddish previously...sort of pinkish/reddish...they've recently become a bit blueish tinted in the center...I don't know why but I'm definitely liking it!
chinyr...The cloves I keep were purchased as a small colony in the old 55 and they quickly expanded and became a very large colony. I've since fragged them several times. I currently have three small colonies in the new display and they have adjusted real well. I have a few local sources for xenia but I don't believe I'll be adding any....I'm trying to save some space for some SPS type corals and would much rather add them than xenia at this point.
