Nice clams!
I think I mentioned in the podcast about the need for extreme depth of field for SPS macros... thought I'd mention same applies for clams, for similar reasons. Here's an example of a clam shot I took where I really wish I had added a couple stops of aperture... but still a shot I like quite a bit.

Another example, close but no cigar.

Meh, heck if I know....
I never kept clams so I have trouble telling some of them apart. But if you put a gun to my head, I'd guess 'Derasa.'

The top one is a teardrop maxima, and the second is a crocea.
Robs looks like a crocea also. As for Travis's not sure but its freakin sweet.

you just had a bad experience, don't let that stop you..
give your tank a bit more time to mature, and them go for it..
just make sure the
LFS properly handles it...
i am almost sure your loss was because of improper
LFS procedure...
