Errr....always one to have clams in my reef but just too bad, my reef setup are not suitable for them.......

[Phang]

Hi Morgan,

Your clams are very nice...

I have 2 now... both croceas...

Am thinking of getting more for my new setup... but couldn't find the kind in your reef setup...

Where do you get them...esp those Blue Maximas and the Squamosa...

They are great!!!!!!!

Anyone else know where I can get clams with such colouration????

[Morgan]

Hi Guys

Thanks for the compliment

Go diving and you will find...................

Don't do it in Marine Park unless you want to pay alot more than expected.

Happy Hunting

Where did you get the clams pic from?

Did you read about the problem they had with clams spreading disease, dying a couple of months back on the US forums.

Some of them had their whole collection of clams dying over period of 2 to 3 weeks.

I not sure you want problematic clams coming into Singapore since the demand in the US may be low due to the above.

[Achilles Tang]

Those clams are from Pohnpei and Vanuatu... they are indeed very beautiful but they also come with a virus that kills clams in a very short time.

I know that we have locals who are breeding clams in Indonesia but they are not reserving them for the local market but exporting them.

[spiff]

morgy,

got the pic from clamsdirect.com the pic is there suplplier.

abt the disease...only clams from pohnpei got this unknow bactiera.

most of our clams r from indonesia anyway

[spiff]

achilles...i 100% agree. most of the clams r exported cos the profits from US r much higher then in s'pore

TRW corals and clams came from Figi when I got my acro.

Pretty near where the problematic clams came from.

Unrelated topic : I think you need a permit (CITES) to bring clams and maybe corals for sale. Heard of problem with AVA recently.

Life stocks are going to be more diffcuilt to come in and more expensive!!

sigh...................

[spiff]

ya kenny was complaining to me n hon last time. the license is pretty ex,afew hundred US dollars. n i guess u need a proper holding area then u can get it or something

[Achilles Tang]

CITES stands for Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

Clams are one of the protected marine species, especially Giant Clams.

I think the license will be applicable to prove that cultured clams or corals are imported instead of wild-caught ones which are banned or allowed in highly controlled quantities.

huh ... only half the pic? Err ... Sorrie ya, new to the forum, also a little IT idiot.

Here's a more updated pic (colours not so bright though). hopefully it works.

[Achilles Tang]

Try reposting your pix again.

Please resize it to something smaller... it's way too big. A guideline would be about 640 pixel wide.

I like the first pix I had to delete (due to half pix displayed).

Very warm colours!

[Poisson_tan]

Okie .... here's my humble 3ft, set up in May this year, all w the help of a great pal - Cedric!

[Achilles Tang]

Try sharpening your photos also... when you resize them.

Definition is kinda lost when you don't do that. You can repost again, Poisson

[CKS]

And heres my 100% natural filter nano tank(2ft)

[Adrianli]

[Achilles Tang]

[wsiong]

Hi all,

Here's a pic of my 2 feet tank. About 3 months old now.

[wsiong]

Sorry,

too big a picture. Attaching a smaller one.

[Achilles Tang]

Nice tank, Wsiong!

And welcome to the Singapore Reef Club forums!

oh... you have a chili coral. Would advise you to keep it in a low light, high flow area.

They are prone to algae growing on them and that affects their polyp extension.

Also... they tend to slough off their skin from time to time...

Chili coral polyps tend to come out during the darker hours too.

[wsiong]

Thanks for the compliment Archilles.

I just bought the chilli coral from Pac Marine yesterday together with the jewel coral.

This tank is a dream come thru for now. Always wanted a reef tank since I was a boy.

I keep drooling when I see the bigger tank pics being posted here.

Well, as you guys always say...Be patient.
