THE HORSE HOOF CLAM (HIPPOPUS HIPPOPUS)
is a stunning giant clam species that stands out with its striking orange-yellow coloration, making it a true gem in any reef aquarium.
One of its most remarkable qualities is its ability to filter water with exceptional efficiency. Compared to Tridacna clams, Hippopus hippopus is even more effective at removing fine particles and suspended matter, which helps maintain excellent water clarity and overall tank stability.
Caring for Hippopus hippopus is relatively straightforward, provided it is placed in a stable aquarium environment with consistent water parameters and strong lighting. The clam hosts symbiotic algae that require adequate light for photosynthesis, while it also benefits from dissolved nutrients filtered from the water.
With its vivid colors and powerful filtering capacity, the Horse Hoof Clam is both a functional water purifier and an eye-catching highlight in any marine aquarium.
