Was looking at adding to my clam crew, Corals.com has some nice WYSIWYG but ive never ordered from them.
Anyone got a review/opinion either way ?

Holiday next week so that may cause shipping problems and holiday overload with all shippers.. Last I heard UPS wasn’t guaranteeing overnight due to the crash in Kentucky but I think they typically suspend guaranteeing this time of the year, FedEx too.

^ Same, no clams but coral and RFAs arrive colored up, healthy and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate ordering clams from them. They are located 25 minutes from me but no pick up.

They had some pretty nice clams, I ordered a couple and added some bam bams they also had several doorbusters on there, a freebie if you spent more than 250.00 pretty cool.

Thanks for everyone's feedback !
Wait!

I bought two clams from them, one appeared to be a beautiful EMERALD green Maxima, and so I ordered another regular blue Maxima and with that I got free shipping and 2 clams from Corals.com

BUTT< and it's a big one

The Beautiful Emerald Green Maxima arrived and its probably one of the most beautiful blue clams I have ever owned, but the emerald isn't what i was hoping for. It's kind of visible from top down viewing, but it is 1/2 blue 1/2 green mantle not the emerald that convinced me to order from them.

I asked a friend what he saw when he looked in my tank (front view) and he said "Two blue clams, zero green."

They have another few nice green clams that I have been looking at. You should buy them. They will likely be the nicest blue clams you have ever seen?

They are healthy, although they came in cold 68F, and I dipped them in fresh water for 25 minutes before they went in the tank to head off any Pinched Mantle Disease issues and they are doing fine after a couple of weeks. I don't know if they have attached, I haven't messed with them.

Dang I want an emerald green Maxima, but I have two excellent blues.

Here’s a shameful picture of the two I have
The greenish one looks blue without the filter and especially when looking from the side and not top down. This top down image convinced me not to complain about the color, besides it’s still an amazing specimen and who knows what it will look like in a few years time?

Yeah top down vs side HUGE difference. I actually bought a low boy tank just for this reason. Whenever id be doing tank maintenance looking down, pumps off, in my display tank my mind would be blown of how amazing it looked. I mean its still cool from the side but not even in the same ballpark as top down.
