Description
The Maxima Clam Blue Large is a dazzling addition to any reef aquarium, showcasing vibrant blue coloration with dark, intricate patterns on its mantle. This species relies primarily on photosynthesis, aided by strong lighting to maintain its brilliant color and health. The Maxima Clam is best suited for experienced aquarists who can maintain stable water conditions and provide intense lighting to support the clam’s symbiotic zooxanthellae.
This clam typically anchors itself onto hard surfaces, allowing it to absorb nutrients from the water. While it obtains most nutrients through photosynthesis, occasional feedings of phytoplankton can enhance its growth. Known for its peaceful temperament, the Maxima Clam Blue Large is reef-compatible and can add a stunning visual element to any established reef tank.
