Picked Up an Awesome Crocea Today!!!

[suasponte2/75]

I actually saw an eye dropping crocea the day before that was in the owner's tank and asked if they would contact me when a new shipment rolled in.

Joleen, the owners' wife, was going to PM me when I dropped in and saw this incredible specimen!!!

They had quite a few pieces that were outrageous!!! I've never seen colors like this on a crocea before. I wanted them all but could only pass one by the wife . Luckily, I had the pick of the litter. The colors are even more amazing in person. I just can't work my camera correctly.

Just wanted to share.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm not sure what happened with my original posting but I wanted to mention that I got it from Atlantis Aquarium and they had quite a few beautiful ones in there if anyone was interested. The clam's about 4-5"!!
