Talking

could someone please tell me if it looks ok. im new to clams and SPS. and would love any additional information that you coauld provide.

I originally placed it in the sand at a angle. It has then moved sideways and angled itself towards the light. it has not moved in a few days. any feedback would be greatley appreciated.

Your clam looks very healthy to me! Welcome to the world of clams and SPS.

It looks good to me too... But just how big is it? cause in the second picture thats either a REALLY large hermit or a smaller sized clam. WHich is cool, cause then you get to see alot of growth from the clam.

the clam is small. however the hermit crab is no particular slouch. but i would say the clam is about as long as your pinkie finger or a hare longer.

Looks like you are off to a good start, what type of lights do you have on there? I hope it is a VHO/PC/T5 type, or else you may run into trouble with your clam.
