Description
The Maxima Clam (Gold) is a strikingly beautiful bivalve prized for its vibrant gold mantle adorned with intricate black and brown patterns. Known for its photosynthetic capabilities, the Maxima Clam relies heavily on intense lighting to support the symbiotic zooxanthellae within its tissues, which provide most of its nutritional needs. This clam is ideal for advanced aquarists who can maintain stable, high-quality water conditions in a mature reef aquarium.
The Maxima Clam prefers to anchor itself on hard substrates or rocks, which helps it absorb nutrients directly from the water column. While it is primarily photosynthetic, occasional feedings of phytoplankton can enhance its growth and coloration. The Maxima Clam brings elegance and movement to any reef display, rewarding aquarists with its captivating mantle and peaceful nature.
