Where to buy clams?

there are several sources of clam. Micronesia clams tend to be very cheap.

Ellis often sells huge Maxima for $100. 3-4" size ones. If you don't want the typical 1" clam, wait a few month. JD had some for sale last month.

I like the Maximas or the derasas.

Like you, I want to add a clam. Do you know which species?

Did some research:

Tridacna maxima - https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?c=497+529+1649&pCatId=1649
Tridacna crocea - https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=497+529+1650&pcatid=1650
Tridacna squamosa - https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=497+529+589&pcatid=589
Tridacna derasa - https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?c=497+529+585&pCatId=585

Ellis Aquatics has a gold squamosa I think for $40 or $50
Vivid Aquariums has a blue squamosa which I am told is rare for $399
