rare colored clams

[yellowtruck75]

I have seen green, blue, brown, purple and tear drop pattern clams but are there any other rare clams colors out there such as black or orange?

there are black & white maximas out there..but i have yet to see a pure black clam. never seen an orange one.

i have a gold/brown teardrop that has a thin yellow rim. kinda cool.

Black Max can be really nice.

I have'nt seen many real black colored, usually the "black" is kinda dark purple, dark blue or dark brown.

Has anyone seen the fire-engine red maximas from the Red Sea?Bob

No!
You got a pic?

My old LFS said he had the oppertunity to buy a black clam with a red rim but it was smuggled in so he was scared to get it. I would have taken the chance.

They don't exist--that was the news flash from the Red Sea in the early 90's when specimens were abuntantly being collected from the RedSea Bob

After few hundreds dives in the Red Sea, I cant see why you guys always talk about Red Sea Max, I mean , they are very nice, but the ones coming from some islands in the Pacific are much nicer.
Red Sea is the place for fish.

I have one with orange in the center. I've also seen some nice blues with fire orange rims. Yellow/blue I've seen too and its very nice as well.
