Thanks! - The pic on Clams Direct does not do it justice. Now let's hope for the best from the PM Gods...

My 14" gigas just survived PM.

I did 2 FW dips and it took about 3 to 4 weeks but it has made a full recovery. Weird thing was I had this clam for almost 2 years and I have 5 crocea, 1 maxium , the gigas and a derasa and none of those showed any signs of PM.

It is weird how this scenario can happen. I suppose Barry's stress theory in the end may hold merit...

that IS a nice gigas! I saw those for sale on Clams Direct over the weekend, your pic does look better than the one Barry had.

All in the lighting. Barry had it under 10Ks - Under XM 20Ks now...

WOW - I guess I'll have to upgrade so I can have one of those...somehow I don't think the spousal unit would go for the logic...
