mbbuna, Yup exactly right 
, that one is the one on the left which is a Crocea, the other one is the Maxima 
. Excellent explanation in that linked thread, that is a keeper for my favorites. Thanks so much.
Isn't Barry awesome. I went to his old place in the very early days before his buisness really started to boom. he was working out of his house in San Diego, since then he has moved operations into a dedicated building and buisness is great for him. he always has nice stuff.
hgbarwick, Sorry for hijacking the thread...How is your clam doing? Did a water change help?

. I think I got a parasite from the last addition but somehow the salmon one never showed the symptoms the rest did. They had all been healthy in the tank for between 4-6 months before the last one was added. I know they look similar but the darker one was much darker with more pronounced brown markings. This one right above, the salmon maxima has more light lines in the mantle along the edge and lighter brownish markings. I got them both in the same shipment from Barry and I went back and checked invoices, he sold them both to me as gold maximas. Go figure. Maybe he got it wrong but I sure love this little guy. Here is a picture from tonight...wish I had both still side by side so you could see the definate difference between them. This is a top down shot.
