He is just to big! Even for my 300!

He's a beaut, Martin. Too bad they grow so huge...I gave my squamosa away becouse it kept rearranging my sand bed, constantly.
How big is that bad boy?

Hey I see the old "finger over the flash" trick up there!

That is a HUGE clam, any local zoo's that might take him?

Gene, he is about 13 or so inches long and 6 to 8 inches wide when open!

Mike, Guilty! I did do the finger over the flash to get a better color of the clam. I will get this camera thing down one day!

Wow! That's a huge clam. I have a Tiger Derasa that is doing very well but if he got anywhere near that big he'd have to move on.

The Rocky mountain Reef Clubs has a meeting every month at the Denver Down town aquarium. I have set up a meeting to talk to one of the head Ichyology (sp) guy about donating the clam. I looks hopful.

Shame that you have to lose it.

Hey Martin, have you tried bouncing the flash - or is your flash on camera? I have to admit to being a big fan of available light but that white balance is a bit.t.t.t. tricky.
