The "Devil" clams come from the Ha'Apai islands along with the colored Teardrops.

How much do you sell them for?

I don't have any at the moment. They typically sell for about $1000-$2000.

Hard to get scale on camera but my gigas is the size of a football almost. I’ve also attached a pic of when I first got it compared to my 8-10 inch maxima.

I'd be curious to know the survival rate of these dudes. It's a deep water clam, right? Really not meant for our bright high flow water boxes. Cool nonetheless! Do they just come in randomly with a shipment or do you specifically ask for them?

Bad picture, but here is Margie

Hippopus is looking great! I mean they all are, but that Hippopus is nice. Do you know what PAR you have it in? Mine's usually not quite that open, wondering if I should up it.

Thanks! I need to take some measurements.

Got my first clam for father's day.
Happy happy clam. No idea what species it is.

I started with two that I bought back in May 29, 2024 from clam mania. I bought a blue crocea and a gold maxima. I sadly lost the gold maxima, but the blue crocea is still going strong. This is my second crocea that I’ve had. I seem to have better success with crocea.

Looks like a maxima, but I would keep an eye on that Centropyge, they’re known nippers.

Maximas are one of the more difficult species to keep.
