Clam help

[Hotrod32487]

Im pretty sure i didnt acclimate it correctly. Im ****ed cause that was the best looking one there at Wolf Reef (imo) not to mention the $30 i spent on it. My fault though for being dumb and just floating it. I want to try another but im going to wait until i start using RO/DI water first. Thanks for all the feedback

Croceas are probably the most 'finicky' clam in my experience with Maximas , Derasas and Squamosa being more forgiving. I have a derasa I got from a group order here several years ago at about 4 inches that is almost a foot across! Plan accordingly - croceas are nice in that they are small - I would reccomend keeping it high in the tank on the rockwork as they tend to bore into coral rock in their natural environment.
