Several Crocea and Maxima I current have
Yes, they are. The crocea is in my main tank, and the derasa is in my clam and acro cube tank. All connected in the same system, though.
The derasa is probably 6ish inches in length right now and growing fast. I had one before that was around a foot in length and very wide. Beautiful creatures!

Those look great. Are they under the home depot floods?
Yes they are. You can see the reflection of the light L lower corner of the picture.
That is a very nice Crocea, an unusual coloration. What does he look like under normal white, full spectrum light? Blue light often hide/remove colors from clams.My two:
Crocea

I'll try to take a picture today. He is a nice turquoise blue with a greenish trim. Pretty similar to what's shown in the photo but a bit more vibrant. I knew I had to have him as soon as I saw him for auction.

You got to move your Crocea out from the shadow of the Maxima or he is not going to do well. Is he growing>?

How was shipping experience. Clams would be the reef life that I would be most nervous about with shipping. Especially in winter.
I have not got them yet this time. I am worried about the cold and the holiday shipping, but they reassured me that they will be on the hook if there is anything goes wrong.

Thanks when I first purchased this beauty it was like not even an inch.
it is
Have you ever ordered from Pacific East Aquaculture?
I have clam fever right now which isn't good.
I got a few from Dr Mac in the past. He has some really nice Maxima now on his site. I did not have any problem with them but this was years ago.
I did and it died. I got my last one from Saltwater Aquarium. Next day shipping. Heat pack was cool when it arrived.
That doesn't sound good. Maybe I'll have to wait till it warms up again.

If you want to order any clams/coral in the winter keep a very close eye on the weather. If you catch a mild spell where it stays in the 30's at night you're golden if the shipper is under 24 hrs. Shipping anything right now with the holiday and blizzard/polar front is a fool's errand. I would wait till the week after New Years.

The baby blue Red Sea maximas were stunning!
