Zooxanthellate Marine Bivalve Bed Composed of Xport-Ca.
Keeps Tridacnid clams and their allies cradled, facing aquarium lighting, and off of the aquarium substrate.
Open, porous “foamed aragonite” composition is readily and rapidly adhered to by bivalves.
Simplifies placement of zooxanthellate clams, and enables relocation without undue risk of damage to the tender foot or glands that cement the specimen into place.
Enables unhindered growth small cultured specimens to reach large proportions in captivity.
Average surface area of 500,000 ft2 per cubic foot for colonization by beneficial nitrifying bacteria.
Blends seamlessly with mature live rock in a matter of weeks under normal reef water and lighting conditions.
