how about any black Maxima pictures anyone?

[ezcompany]

they are totally black. they will appear brownish when bleached, usually in the areas where the mantle overlaps each other.

When I first got mine it was pretty black. Since then it's lightened up slightly to a very dark dark brown. I suspect it's because I put mine up pretty high. It's about 6" deep under the halide. Anybody else experience this?

 

[capefear]

no, i moved both of mine closer to the top of the tank, and they are jet black.

Unarce....nicest clam i've ever seen! Plese assure me if for any reason you ever have to sell it I can buy it, lol.

 

[Unarce]

Thank you, Matt

I'm sure there are nicer ones out there. The ORA b/w's seem to have a little extra oomph, don't they

 

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

if you wouldn't mind devulging your source to get that ORA maxi i'd be indebted...
I only know of one reliable online vendor and his business is great, but i never come close to catching the rares lately

 

[Unarce]

I got mine from Will at RiptidesReef.com

 

[slojmn]

Karl, Is that a new one that took up residence after selling me your other one. I figured there was a reason you were getting rid of the other one . Lucky me...I should take a current shot of mine, it has grown quite a bit since I got it from you.

 

[Unarce]

Yes, Alicia! My clam bed didn't have the room for 3 medium sized clams, so I chose to sell one. I do miss the one you got. Flawless mantle with a perfectly symmetrical shell. What a specimen

 

[ezcompany]

i guess its my turn...especially since unarce and chris posted theirs :lol:

[BONDQ]

Oh pretty, pretty!

 

[chelskisw6]

i love that clam at the bottom of the pic.

 

[prugs]

Does this qualify as a black maxima?

 

[ViPeR_930]

Black maxi? I suppose, but not black and white. Many maximas are black and blue, especially small ones.

 

[tsutaoka]

wow...those are some awsome clams

 

[DouglasTiede]

what part of the world are they from?

 

[Schieby]

Hello,

One of mine shows this kind of traffic light green at this place


Bye Erik
