Ctenoides scaber is a visually captivating clam known for its unique appearance and moderate care requirements, making it an excellent addition to many marine reef tanks. Available in various sizes, this species adds both interest and biodiversity to your aquarium.
Care Level: Moderate care is recommended, with stable water parameters and appropriate lighting.
Feeding: Like most clams, Ctenoides scaber relies primarily on photosynthesis via its symbiotic zooxanthellae. Supplementary feeding with phytoplankton or liquid coral foods can support health, especially in lower light conditions.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: This clam is generally reef safe and compatible with peaceful tank mates. Avoid housing with aggressive or clam-nipping species.
Lighting and Water Flow: Moderate lighting is ideal to support its photosynthetic needs without causing stress. Water flow should be gentle to moderate, ensuring the clam’s delicate tissues are not damaged.
Placement: Position Ctenoides scaber on a stable substrate or rockwork where it can receive adequate light and flow without risk of being dislodged.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters typical of reef aquariums, including temperature, salinity, and calcium levels, to promote optimal growth and longevity.
