Ultra Blue Crocea, Lavender Sponge, Blue Clove Polyps

[Tanque Verde]

So, I saved the best for the very last. This is my precious. She's been with me three years, I believe. I purchased her from Barry Neigut, when he was with Clams Direct. She is as bright and colorful as any specimen I've had in my tank

Ultra blue and green crocea, approximately 5". Covered on one side in lavender sponge. Mounted on a rock that has the diameter of a large cantaloupe and is partially covered in blue clove polyps.

This clam has thrived these past few years near the top of the tank under a 150w MH, You may need to adjust the height according to your wattage.

I'd prefer that this clam find its way into the tank of an experienced reefkeeper.

$115. No shipping.

...it's breaking my heart...

 

[Tanque Verde]

Thanks, Leilani. Mine too! But the time is right.

 

[Tanque Verde]

Thanks to those who have inquired. I would prefer not to ship this clam.

Thanks for keeping me in mind Ben, Im in the process of setting up a smaller tank and my cube is going to another reefer here on RC. that has to be the nicest clam I have seen! stunning. if anyone is thinking about picking it up, do it!

 

[Tanque Verde]

I hope to tear down this tank soon so I am open to reasonable offers on the clam.

Is the clam the only livestock left? Very very beautiful clam in person!!! Is your sand spoken for?

The clam is all that's left. Hate to see it go. I'll get back to you about the sand.

 

[Jmnazari]

Is the sand you have, that super fine grade? I'll be setting up a sump soon, so any live sand really, would be useful There are enough caring and responsible reef keepers in Tucson, that I'm sure it will go to a very good home.

Not superfine. A few millimeters per grain up from that.

The sand sounds perfect; thanks for keeping me in mind! I'll talk to some people who aren't on RC, about the clam

 

[Tanque Verde]

^As I suspected, the sand is spoken for, but I can offer you a cup or two to seed your fuge.

 

[Jmnazari]

A cup or so sounds perfect! A DSB in a fuge seems a little complicated for this newbie LOL. I would use my DT sand, but the bed is only 1/4" thick, and my damsel keeps making burrows! I didn't mean to hijack your thread here .

 

[Tanque Verde]

No problem. Late this afternoon, or sometime before Saturday would probably work best for p/u.

 

[Jmnazari]

Today is my busiest day, but any day or time before saturday works for me.
Thanks Ben!

 

[Tanque Verde]

Contact me tomorrow then.

 

[Jmnazari]

Will do
