Buy Tridacna Clams – Colorful Giant Clams for Your Reef Aquarium
Tridacna clams, known in German as “Mördermuscheln,” are highly prized by marine aquarists. Native to tropical waters around the equator – such as Thailand, Malaysia, Fiji, and the Red Sea – these majestic mollusks are both rare and remarkable.
Highly sought-after species include Tridacna maxima, Tridacna crocea, and newer imports like the popular ‘Teardrop’ clam, which is now classified as Tridacna noae.
These clams are known for their large, colorful mantles with dazzling patterns and hues. Viewed from above, they often appear turquoise or greenish, while from the side they show deep blue tones – a living piece of reef art in your tank.
Care: Tridacna clams thrive under strong lighting (high PAR) and require stable water conditions in well-established reef tanks. They prefer moderate to low flow. They filter fine particles and plankton but primarily gain energy from their symbiotic zooxanthellae algae through photosynthesis.
Note: This category exclusively features WYSIWYG clams (“What You See Is What You Get”) – meaning you will receive exactly the specimen shown in the product image. This is different from sample photo categories, where the image is only representative. Every clam here is unique and one-of-a-kind!
