Giant clams

Clams are bivalve mollusks that have the distinctive feature of containing the same microalgae as corals (Zooxanthellae) in their tissues. Discover our selection of highly colorful clams from the South Pacific, Clams of the species Tridacna maxima, generally in ultra-color grade. Available in small size 4 to 6 cm or large size 12-15 cm.

Weak to medium water flow

It is important to ensure that the clam is properly oriented, with the current flowing from the inhalant siphon (large hole) to the exhalant siphon (small hole).

Strong lighting

Clams are located on the upper part of the reef; good lighting is essential for their proper development.

Useful information

Special food for clams is essential. Despite their ability to derive energy from light, they remain filter-feeding organisms. Be careful, clams are sensitive to certain parasites that can kill them by attacking them through the foot.
