Quick Stats

Description

The Maxima Clam Blue is a highly prized marine invertebrate, admired for its striking blue and green mantle with intricate black and dark blue patterns. This clam is a standout addition to reef tanks due to its unique appearance and beneficial role in water filtration. Maxima Clams rely heavily on strong lighting for photosynthesis, as they contain symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) within their tissues, which help produce energy.

The Maxima Clam is peaceful and works well in reef aquariums, coexisting with corals and other peaceful tank mates. It requires intense, stable lighting (such as metal halide or high-output LEDs) and pristine water quality to thrive. This clam can also filter-feed, benefiting from the additional supplementation of marine snow or phytoplankton.

As an expert-only species, the Maxima Clam demands a mature, well-maintained aquarium with high calcium levels to support its shell growth. It should be placed on a stable surface, such as live rock or a clam cradle, where it can attach securely. This clam adds a vibrant focal point to any tank but requires experienced care for optimal health and growth.
