The Tridacna Crocea clam is a popular choice for marine reef enthusiasts seeking a compact, visually striking invertebrate. This Grade A specimen, approximately 6cm in size, displays vibrant mantle colours that add natural beauty to your aquarium.
Care Requirements: Tridacna Crocea clams thrive under moderate to strong lighting to support their symbiotic zooxanthellae algae. Stable water parameters with consistent calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels are essential for healthy growth.
They prefer moderate water flow to ensure adequate nutrient exchange without causing mantle retraction. Placement should be on a stable rock or substrate area with access to light but protected from direct strong currents.
Feeding: While primarily reliant on photosynthesis, occasional supplementation with phytoplankton or specialised clam foods can support optimal health, especially in lower light conditions.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Tridacna Crocea clams are generally reef safe and compatible with most peaceful invertebrates and fish. Avoid housing with aggressive or clam-nipping species.
Due to their sensitivity, it is recommended to introduce this clam into mature, well-established reef tanks with stable water chemistry.
