    Favorite Tridacna Clam Poll

    I have a Maxima, a Crocea,and a Derasa, but I would like atleast one of each. Right now, my favorite is my gold maxima, but I really like the aqua blue/green ones.
    Feel free to post pics, too!

    any chance we could get pics of each? or a link to them? I don't know what most of those look like. I've never really been a clam guy, but i've got 2 so far.

    My favorite clam is my squamosa, but I voted maxima due to the huge variety of colors they can have

    I prefer Maximas but a Blue Squamosa is hard to beat....

    You'll look great at the bottom of the ocean in concrete pants. Now pay up with those rics.

    I think Corcea needs a little help in this poll. This is a pic of the most favorite clam I ever had

    Just got the new clams in the tank! They are so pretty! One has a 4 1/2 inch shell and the other has a 3 1/2 shell. They haven't opened up fully yet, so I'll have to get pics in the morning. The bigger one has a nice pink ring around the mantle and the smaller one has orange hues mixed in with the blue!
