        Yeah, I see what you are saying now. He did post above that picture it the look he is going for.

                        clam that under 3" is just really hard to survive...
                        not saying yours wont...just the rate are higher....also blue/purple variations seems to require more tense light than other color variations....
                        looks like you got another bigger one, seems to be a crocea?...how long did you add that one into the tank?
                        looks like it is still under a little stress, the mantle still seems a little pinched...but do pay more attention to the clams...if you see the sign of them with some pinched mantle...they may infect with PM...so do a fresh water dip asap...
                        also i hope you will get a MH or t5 for your tank in the future? that's just what your clam requires...
                        and maybe it is a good idea to dose calcium supplement for your tank too...clams suck up a lot of calcium...
                        i am new to clams too...but that's as far as i know that some things that need to be concern...hope it helps a little....and also, when comes to PM, crocea are a lot easier to infect, a lot of them do actually...maybe just in the early stage and we don't notice...
                        i have a almost 5" crocea too...i am also paying close attention about the Pinched Mantle. Maxima is the second easiest to get PM, others seems got a lot lower chance..

                          Oic I plan on geting a mh for my tank in the next couple of weeks but I need help fixing it toy lid anyone have any pointers. As for pm I don't know what to look for. The clams are opening up very nicely. But tend to close up when the flash is taken. Also I am soaring with purple-up it is calcium an iodine. And spot feeding with zoo and phos

                            Thanks for posting up pictures. I just got a nano too, maybe I should start a log so ppl can tell me what I'm doing wrong. I know zero about SW and am taking the plunge.

                              basically just watch the tip of the mantle, if the mantle is pinched...then it may be...
                              here is a good article.
