[crvz]

awesome clam, where did you get it? something local?

 

[Jadams]

thanks everyone! Yeah I got it at a LFS. I will take another pic of it tonight and try to get a better more "white" pic. I dont understand digital camera's very much and dont take the best pics

I got it at "Seaside" in Huntington Beach. They have about 20 more maxima's in their display tank. No more B/W ones, but many very cool ligthblue/darkblue/gold/purple etc...

What did you give for him.... awesome clam btw!

 

[Crustman]

Wow nice clam. I wish my LFS had some nice maximas.

 

[PhilTheEel]

WOW

 

[Genetics]

I'm assuming it looks like this in your tank. Very nice btw!

 

[Jadams]

yes it does. How did you do that??? I can never get the 'blue tint' out of my pics??

Im using a sony Cyber-shot 8.1 mp dsc-w100 digital camera if anyone know's????

Thanks!

 

[crvz]

Photo editing, my good sir. While dorking around with the white balance on the camera may also help, most of the time I rely on a few minutes in photoshop.

 

[Genetics]

Yeah, it takes less than 5 minutes to color correct photos in a software program. I would not rely heavily on camera white balance for tank photographs.

 

[jefathome]

Jadams.... You said you took the smaller of the two. Is that b/c it was more "black" than the other one (ie the one I got?).

 

[Jadams]

Hey jefathome - Honestly, I took this one just because it was sitting on the sand bed and the one you got was already on the LR. I wasnt sure if yours was totally attached or not, so I figured it would be best to go for the one that i know isnt attached to anything.

I actually liked the pattern of yours more, and stood staring at the tank for about 20 minutes deciding which one to buy. :lol:

As far as mine being more black, it didnt really look like it in the store to me. They looked about the same...

 

[basser1]

Hey fellas, if you don't mind me asking, but how much does a B & W maxima sell for?

 

[jefathome]

Anywhere from $40 to $400 depending on luck... You know how things are in this hobby.

Oh.. ok.
speaking of attaching, there is a tube worm growing on the side of mine. Pretty big one!!
As soon as mine attaches I'm going to pull it out and get medevil on that worm. He puts out a sticky web every night and I think the calm doesn't like it.

 

[jefathome]

bad shot, but you can see the B/W in the lower left. That other one is sweet too, huh?

And my third clam:

 

[ludiNano]

Its a very nice looking clam but it looks to be reaching for more light, jefathome.
