Croceas are considered the most demanding the the giant clams because of several reasons, have a very limited range in the wild found in the shallow high flow zones, also have the largest bysal opening (they have the strongest attachment of the giants because of the high flow zones they inhabit...

Yes, That is some supplement more when the fish hmm.. poops? Problem with our contained systems is there ability to produce food degrades rapidly as the rock and sand bed become impacted less surface area for bacto/plank. to colonize= less food production as our corals are rapidly growing...

What?? I thought this was common knowledge maybe you should research before you offer other people advice-a simple online search would prove you wrong.I do not want to fight about it- it is a marine biology fact documented years ago-why is there so much mis-information here? That is sad...

Research has been done many years ago- many papers by many marine biologist -easily looked up and verified -not trying to argue just trying to help with proper info- No majic to this hobby just good science! Research is everything in this hobby.

They are corals of sandbed-if it is a para(branching)ancora it can be ok in the rock work-if it is not it belongs in the sandbed-reason being the flesh will be abraided by the rockwork as it expands-asking for a bacterial infection(brown jelly) Do you know what species it is? euphyllia ancora...
