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.
