Haven't seen that before. I like the 'Frag mount' things, cool idea. Would be even cooler if they were rock colored.

hmmm yeah - new to me too!! But I do like the little clam frag plug - basically the same as using an old clam shell to place them in

no idea what the "treatment bag" or "ammonia neutralizer" are though - wonder if they have any details as to what is included in those??

uhh coral tree... interresting idea.

shmoliken · Big-Geek

seems unnecessary to me. many clams would not fit into the ceramic clam holders they supply.too big/small/shape is different, etc. ammonia eradicator might be useful for a shipment before/during acclimation, but properly begun acclimation would eliminate that need. it also has instructions that should not be needed if proper steps are taken before purchasing a clam, an acclimation tubeprolly airline tubing, a cleaning brush but toothbrushes work fine.

yeah it's kinda cool, but unnecessary. I like the idea of putting them in an old shell better.

billrob71 · Will work for CLAMS

Neat idea but will depend on how much it costs, more then $10 and probably will be a shelf warmer

They give more details about the ceramic thingy then whats in the bag. I think i would skip it.

In my opinion Jon, if the aquarist is capable of keeping the clam it has little to no benefit. They do however have some interesting frag mounting systems available.
