Maxima Ultra Clam
Tridacna maxima
Unique, beautiful, and physchedlic coloration. Maxima clams require similar parameters to any coral-bearing reef tank. They require lots of light and a good amount of flow. Smaller clams will benefit from phytoplankton feeding, this is not necessary for larger clams as they feed primarily photosynthetically. Place them on firm rockwork and leave them!

The Maxima Ultra Clam is a stunning addition to my reef tank. Its vibrant coloration stands out and it has adapted well to the high light conditions. I placed it on a solid rock shelf and it’s been thriving since installation.

Beautiful and active. The clam has grown steadily over the past few months. I feed it phytoplankton occasionally, but it’s mostly relying on photosynthesis. It’s a great choice for a reef tank with strong lighting.

I was impressed by how quickly it settled into the tank. The color is vivid and it doesn’t seem to show any signs of stress. I keep the flow strong and light high, which matches the care instructions perfectly.
