The Ultra Blue/Turquoise Maxima Clam exhibits vibrant colors of blue and turquoise and has a non-symmetric, elongated shell with thinly-spaced scutes. They are filter feeders, meaning they filter the water for particulate food, but the hobbyist must supplement their diet with planktonic foods. As the clam grows, they will require less supplemented feedings. Maxima Clams have byssal threads that they use to attach themselves to substrate. Never forcibly remove an attached clam, as these threads may become badly damaged in the process. Keep in mind that the first spot you choose could become the clam's permanent placement because of those threads. This clam does best under bright light, in clean water, and at least a moderate flow of water.

  • Reef safe
  • For continued health, supplement with planktonic foods, calcium, and an alkalinity source
