I'm thinking of buying one from Diver's Den. What's everyone experience with them? I don't know anything about Cocos Island and just want to make sure they're not as difficult to keep as the Tahitian maximas.

I had exact same thing happen. Killed all the others.Any clams I purchased from them the past 2 plus years all died- LA or DD. I would put them into my tank with other clams that I had for months that were healthy and thriving. Next thing I know, the one from LA or DD is dead in a few days and then all the others die as well. None of the ones I currently have in my tank came from LA or DD. They have been in there about 6 - 7 months at the longest and they are healthy and thriving, showing great growth and mantle extension.

Dude... Are you me? Lol sounds exactly like my build thread...When I setup a dedicated clam tank early fall last year I wanted 2 of every type of clam. I ordered 9 clams from L.A. and only the 1 I got direct shipped from OR A is still alive. I HAVE ALSO TRIED 6 OF THE jumbo Maxima from US and no luck with those either. The only ones left are from my LFS from Bali I believe.
Haha sounds like it. I am glutton for clam punishment recently. I am still trying to find a better source and trying to figure out how to maintain these guys in my SPS dominant system.Dude... Are you me? Lol sounds exactly like my build thread...
To those of you who had deaths from DD clams that also killed your other existing clams... How long did you wait before adding another clam to your tank? And was this fallow period long enough to eliminate whatever pathogen was present and allow the new clam to survive?
