Clam Holder

Art.Nr. 16-01-231004

Reef ceramic shell for giant clams.

The clam holder provides a safe place outside the sandbed for Tridacna, which can easily attach to it with the help of their byssus threads. Thanks to its natural look, it hardly stands out in the reef tank and will soon be covered in coralline algae.

Details at a glance:

  • already watered and ready for immediate use
  • size of 7-10 cm ideal for smaller aquacultured Tridacna
  • natural appearance

Clam holder for Tridacna – yes or no?

Yes, because the weak spot of a giant clam is on the bottom: the byssal opening. Directly behind this opening is the byssus gland. It produces strong filaments supporting the clam's ability to hold on to substrate. The byssal opening is a typical target of 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 at Tridacna crocea. This species should therefore necessarily be placed on a clam holder.
