awesome, I especially like the first dersa, where did you get that one?

 

[Travis]

Thanks. They all came from Barry at Clams Direct. I really like it too. That clam, and another one just like it, sat there for probably a month before I bought it. I couldn't believe they took that long to sell. I decided to grab when I saw the blue max and couldn't live without it.

wow they are all fantastic, i wish i had that much clam!!! i liked the purple maxima most. He looks like black w/ electric blue stripes/dots

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Actually, now that I think of it they weren't all from Clams Direct. The brown maxima came from ecorals.tv. It also came with a teardrop maxima of similar size but I lost it in my tank crash last month.:mad2: However, the tank crash wasn't all bad. It finally took care of the pinching mantle disease that I could NOT get rid of. All of my clams were affected except the Hippopus(no overhanging mantle to pinch). I was doing FW dips almost monthly to no avail. I sure am glad I got the disease out of the tank for good now. One thing I learned from that is ALWAYS quarantine.
