Do the Derasa's only get blue when larger?

I definetly like the ones that are more blue, but online all the small ones i see are not blue at all

I normally see Derasa with blue and/or green rims along the mantle. I've seen one solid green derasa, but the whole pic was green. Haven't seen a solid blue one, though. 95% of the time, they'll have the brown and gold striped pattern.

This is a great species for the beginner. They don't require as much light and don't grow as fast as squamosa or gigas.

Hi,

Those are my average sale prices here in the store before any discount. Your price would be considerably less.

Thanks,

and more info from Your Reef:

Hi,
Also, what I will do is pick up two clams for every one ordered so people have more options. The left overs I will sell in the store. I also plan to hand pick the clams myself if possible.

Thanks,

John

I think we should continue to take orders until May 14th so that we can have our order in to Your Reef by May 15th. The more the merrier, I say...

From Your Reef:

Hi,
I order or pick out corals every week so there's no rush. I hope to be in LA 5/16/07 so it would be good to have the order by then so I can hand pick while I am down there.

John

How about any Hippopus hippopus?

I'd be done with a few of them

 

[shiveley]

I didn't ask about those because I felt they weren't very common and didn't think anyone would request one. If you seriously want one it shouldn't be a problem.
