Reef ceramic bowl for giant clams.

The mussel holder provides a safe place outside the sand bed for Tridacna, which can easily attach themselves to it using their byssus threads. Thanks to its natural appearance, it is hardly noticeable in the reef tank and will soon be covered with calcareous algae.

Details at a glance:

  • already watered and ready for use
  • with 5-9 cm ideal for smaller breeding Tridacna
  • natural look

More Information

Clam holder for Tridacna – yes or no?

Yes, because the weak point of a giant clam is on the underside: the byssal opening. Immediately behind it is the byssus gland. It produces strong threads that allow the clam to cling to the substrate. The byssal opening is a typical point of attack for bristle worms. Therefore, never place your Tridacna directly on the substrate or in the sand, but on a clam holder. The size of the byssal opening varies from species to species. It is largest in Tridacna crocea . This species should therefore definitely be placed on a clam holder.
