The Tridacna Crocea Clam (Ultra) 7cm is a captivating addition to any marine reef aquarium. Renowned for its brilliant colours and intricate mantle patterns, this clam is a favourite among marine aquarists seeking both beauty and resilience.
Care Level: Moderate care is recommended, making it suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining stable reef conditions.
Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic, Tridacna Crocea relies on strong lighting to support its symbiotic zooxanthellae algae. Supplementary feeding with phytoplankton or specialised clam foods can promote growth and health.
Compatibility & Reef Safety: This clam is reef safe and compatible with most peaceful reef inhabitants. Avoid housing with aggressive fish or invertebrates that may nip at its mantle.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 100 litres is advised to provide stable water parameters and adequate space. Moderate to high lighting (such as T5, LED, or metal halide) and moderate water flow are essential to mimic natural conditions.
Placement: Position the clam on a stable, sandy substrate or rockwork where it can receive ample light without direct strong currents that may stress it.
Regular water quality monitoring and maintenance of calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels will support healthy shell growth.
