Well went to the not so LFS today, and saw a couple of awesome clams. I was going to buy a 3inch crocea. Then I saw this little beauty. A baby maxima. So I took the plunge, and justified my reasoning behind getting Metal Halides.
He hasnt stuck his mantle out yet.I have seen him trying to stick his foot out into the live rock earlier. I've done a lot of research on clams but know very little about baby clams. Other than the fact that they feed off phyto.
I have a 24G Aquapod 150hqi MH. Pair of ocellaris, a neon goby, CUC, torch coral, ricordea, and orange zoos.
For feeding I have a product called roti-feast. I was told this would be good for the clam by the LFS. I use it for my coral every now and then.
So questions followed by pics.
What would be the best way to feed this little guy without throwing my water off?
How much, and when should he be fed?
Low flow or is moderate ok?
Any other advice would be awesome, I really hope he grows into an awesome clam. I'll keep this thread as a journal for the little guy.
Now to the pics. If you notice something particular please let me know.
