Guys & Gals;

I'm going to buy a couple of clam for my tank in Surabaya, 2"-3" for $5 a piece.

I using 4 24W T5, which I think is suffice for starter.

Problem is that how can I distinguish what clam am I buying. The LFS here have no clue in them, they just sell when it is harvested.

ty for comment.

Also, they lights is quite bad thus cannot see the clam fully open.

Equipment:

30G Corner Tank with 10G Sump, 2 x 24W artinic T5, 1 x 24W 10K, 1x 24W 20K, 3" Grade 0 sand & Live rocks, Activated Carbon, Bio-home, 2 x Seio M620, Hailea 1/2HP Chiller, Redsea Pro Skimmer

Live Stock:

Turbo Snail x 1, Green Mandarin Dragonet X 2, Blue Tang X 2, True percular x 2, 1 x Algae Bleenie, Clarke clown x 2

Reef:

1 x 2" Blue maxima, Red/Brown/Purple Mushroom (Discosoma), Pink Ricordea yuma, A little colony Brown/Green common Zoanthus, Red/Pink/Green US Zoanthus, Eagle-eye Zoathus, 14 Branch Goniopora Pandoraensis, 1 Starburst Polyps, 3 + 2 Branch Frogspawn, 4 Blasto, palythoa, Cheato

RIPs (Since June 2005):

1. Sabae clown (KO by Clarke clown) 2. 1 branch melted frogspawn 4 branch 3. Golden maxima (Ripe the base off rock by me) 4. Algae Bleenie x 2 (Starvation) 5. Blue Maxima x 1, 2 x Maxima, 1 x frogspawn, rics (Overtemp...)

Cannot really see the lights under the street condition. Maybe I will try to touch it and see if it close sharply.

But really how to tell if it is maxima or something else?

Actually I thinking of bring in maybe 3 of them... Sure got one good I guess...

By the way, most are blue or purple, very few brown. Cannot see whether tear drop or not as they are not fully opened.

some traits for id is the overall shape n the shell shape... for e.g. crocrea has a smoother shell surface than a maxima :)
