Regarding black and white maxima from...

...page 216 of Natural Reef Aquariums (Tullock).

Sorry I don't have a pic, as I could not find anything else like it online. Does anyone actually have a b/w like this (pinstriped)?

they are very rare and very expensive, but they are out there.

It is truly a classic as far as coloration. Amazingly beautiful though very rare and commands a steep price if you are able to locate one!

Thanks for the replies!

I was just wondering about this particular type of b/w maxima. The specimens that I have been able to find pictured online, were all different than this one. Where the white bars are rather thick. There seems to be more of this version.

The one in the book is pinstriped with small white specks, as well. I realize b/w's will be hard to come by, but just wondering if the type in the book would just be a 'pipe dream' to acquire

Thanks again!

i am lucky enough to have two of those clams, but i think i like the colored teardrops more.

 

[Unarce]

You have specimens just like the one in the book?

 

[capefear]

i have not seen the ones in the book, can you post any pics ?

Sorry, I don't have a scanner

I described it a bit in my 2nd post. Metaphorically, it's looks like outer space with a bunch of shooting stars.
