I just review some of their prices and it looks like it's about the same as what I can get the Crocea for locally.Even more actually, I got a 4" Crocea for $30 locally. The 6+" are going for $38.
Nice and healthy
There are many grades of clams, you cannot really compare general prices for croceas like that. It would be like comparing hondas to BMWs, because they are all automobiles.
And Clams Direct has the best, and well earned, reputation for quality, healthy clams. Barry has been known to hold back clams from selling if he suspects that it is sick. And they do quarrantine their clams for at least a week before even listing them on the web site. All of these add to the value of the clam. His customer service is stellar also. We had a clam die in shipping.. it happens, any livestock is at rish to perish in shipping. Barry was fantastic to work with and we received immediate store credit and his profuse apologies. The other 2 clams in the shipment survived and are still doing fine in our tank. Outside of possibly buying a clam for a fellow reefer in our area, I will only purchase clams from Clams Direct, because I know a quality business and quality livestock (and truly competitive prices) when I see them
Just my $.02
