Anyone have a Gold or Yellow Gigas?

This is the Last Clam I am searching for. Does anyone have one, or even seen one offered for sale? Please post pics of you got one.

There is an insane Yellow Gigas pic in the J.Sprung book, Invertebrates , A quick reference guide.
I tried to source some like it, but could not get any but the regular Gigas ya see online.

I could be wrong, but I remember reading somewhere that the gigas start of with the yellow coloration and blue dots and fade into the regular ones (clearish brown with blue dots).

4 gigas in a 90g? Are you sure you don't mean something like maxima, crocea, derasa, etc.?

 

[wakesetter]

yeah they are stacked on top of eachother in little clam condos

 

[wakesetter]

just kidding. The 90 is the tank in my living room. I bought the gigas for 2 180's and 2 400's that I maintain. I will probably put one in my tank and let it grow for a while and they try to find a home for it. I am sure one of my customers will want it eventually.

If you look in the Sprung book you'll see what I mean, page 119 and page 124, FULL BRIGHT YELLOW Gigas.
I have never seen anything like this and I saw many Gigas.

 

[wakesetter]

which Sprung book are you refering to? I looked in The Reef Aquarium and it wasn't there.

 

[wakesetter]

found it. Yeah those are pretty intnese. I will have to go look at mine and see how they compare. I think I would call two of them yellow, but not gold like the ones in the pic. Those are also top down pics so the color is going to be a little more intense than some pics.

The ones in the book looks like the color of the Lakers jersey.
I never seen this color in a gigas.
