No, I recently bought it.

Nice find. It is rare to find maximas like that of that size nowadays. 10-15 years ago you could often find super ultra grade maximas in the 3-4 inch range.

Wow, some really different ones in those, very nice!

 

[montrealreef]

Thanks Delphinus!

My favorite is the golden crocea (5th picture). Its gold iridescence is a lot more impressive in person.

Very nice. You Canadians seem to get good stock.

 

[montrealreef]

Thanks dvmsn,

As for the good livestock, I wish that were true..

I personally have a lot of difficulty finding quality livestock in Montreal. Very few vendors offer SPS corals and clams. Most SPS is wild caught or marlcultured (very hard to find true aquacultured SPS) and most clams are small and "generic" blue maximas or croceas.

All the clams pictured above were specially ordered through my LFS and cost me a lot of $$$
for shipping. They usually take a beating when shipped due to the very cold whether most of the year.

The last one is a Squamosa that I got for $21 at a LFS about 4 years ago. He was about 3" when I got him and now he is about 10"

Here are a couple of pics I took a month ago, having fun with macro; new clams have been added since then, will post more pictures later.
