Derasa Clam Is Dark????????

Great Reefer Man · 05-09-2001, 10:01 AM

I have about a 3 1/2" Derasa clam on the bottom of my 100g tank located about 22" or so under a 175W True10K MH bulb. It appears dark blue. It dosent appear to have the yellow or org. areas common to these clams. I understand that putting it up higher on the rocks is a no no for this species and that they prefer the sandbed. Any ideas? Or, is this all perfectly normal and fine?????

You might want to check out the species characteristics of derasa and maxima clams. I have never actually seen a dark blue derasa before.
