Lets Explore Rare Wild Clam Species like you have never seen before! maxima, crocea, squamosa ect.
In this video I explore 10 different species of Giant Clams and Regular Clams including a few species I cant ID. All of these species are filmed like you have never seen before. In the Wild !! Footage is filmed across locations around Australia, Fiji, New Caledonia and Indonesia.
It is interesting to see the geographic/ environmental differences these species have as well as the areas they inhabit. Happy to discuss and be wrong if anyone wants to add what they think :) Lets discuss our oceans, cause I love it !
Most of these species are regularly seen in the Aquarium Hobby, but there is a serious lack of footage and understanding of where these clams actually come from and their habitats they live in. Hopefully this short video can inspire some people or at the very least entertain viewers interested in the ocean and its creature!
The Species in this video are:
Tridacna giga (Largest Giant Clam)
Tridacna maxima (Small Giant Clam
Tridacna crocea (Boring Clam)
Ctenoides ales (Electric Flame Scallop)
Tridacna noae (Tear Drop Clam)
Tridacna ningaloo (Now considered noae)
Tridacna derasa (Smooth Giant Clam)
Hippopus hippopus (Bear Claw Clam)
Tridacna squamosa (Giant Fluted Clam)
Spondylus varius (Giant Spiny Oyster)
Pinna bicolor (Razor Clam)
Let me know if there are any coral, fish or other marine animals you want to see !

    This patch reef environment is what I went for in my display. I arranged the bommies around each other instead of in a line though. My tank is 4’ x 3’ so, it’s better for that.

    one of my favorite reefing related videos I have ever seen!!! I love clams and had read Daniel Knops book on Giant clams which does not include Noae (as it is super old) and it was awesome to see that in the wild! One thing I have always wanted to see footage of in the wild if Leopard wrasses, if you ever see one I'd love to see the footage of where they hang out. Great stuff!
