thats a gorgeous maxima clam there.. never heard the shute theory as to telling the age of a clam. If that was true the poor crocea clams wouldn't be able to tell age cause they don't have shutes, nor do the derasa clams.

6 line wrasses are a great fish to keep with clams. Those that have found pyramid snails usually keep a 6 line in with the clams as they are known to keep the pyramid snails away. I've had several 6 lines in with my clams, it is not a problem.

the china wrasse is another great wrasse to keep with clams that will keep the pyramid snail population down. the yellow wrasse, can't think of the common name right this second. I have had 2 of the yellow's and they are a great wrasse and a plus with pyramid's. Those are off the top of my head...

I believe that's the Halichoeres chrysus
The Yellow wrasse can chow down on your ornamental shrimp...mine made quick work of a pistol shrimp.
Also all the Fairy Wrasses are fine with clams but will not take care of any pyramid problems.
BTW gorgeous clam Morgan !
