Lets see those CLAM photos! Clams that you have, had, or even photographed.

I got him from Austin Aqua Farm.
I lost him and I don't even know why. My other clams are doing fine but he just stop growing and slowly retracted and eventually died. No parasite, no PMD, no pests. He just up and died over 6 months. The one good thing about it is he did not past it on to any other clams. Same light, same place in the sump with my other clams and where he did well for more than a year.
There are a lot of unknown, to me, about clams culturing.

I’ve got two from them two months ago have been doing great with some growth. In the same tank I never able to keep maximas more than one moth. Same thing, slowly getting more and more retracted without any obvious reasons, except for a little center bleaching

I’m sorry, that thing was beautiful! Baby blue is in my opinion the most beautiful squamosa coloration and yours was almost solid baby blue. I’ll let you know if I see another one like that. I’m always looking. Hey we have a mutual friend, Ali from amazing aquariums and reefs. He says hello.

I hate to admit it but I have not made it easy for my Gigas. First in office tank, then moved to home tank for a couple weeks with angels and now finally back in clean office tank.

I recently luck out and got three very nice Crocea. Here they are, and my Maxima that I have had for over 1 year.

 

[Overboard]

Really nice!! Great finds!!

Crocea at the top is amazing, have not seen one like that in ages.

8" derasa

Mimosa, teal color doesn’t show up well on this photo, it’s running up the center. Grown pretty fast since purchase from PEA.

 

[Jose A Venereo]

White Squamosa. Circa 2007. Never seen another one like this one. It was 2" when I bought is at a LFS. It was 8"+ when it died due to my stupidity. Had it over 6 years.

 

[drblakjak55]

Three got to six inch Maxima 3yo and two got to four inch Derasa 2yo.

Had this big boy about 7 years now

There's a local guy selling a nice crocea embedded in a rock that I want, but I can't justify spending money right now (unless I sell some sps soon?). That and I'm still finding pyramid snails (1 or 2) every couple nights. @Orion nice clams!
Mine are still in the sump isolation.

I am sure that they, the Ultra Crocea, are available somewhere but by the time I get to see and choose clams of the quality I got above was long gone. I have been looking for these for many years, 10+, and not able to get them any where near this quality.
I am extremely happy that I got there three, especially the green one
