Sweet clam! Good luck with it.

VERY nice!!!

Is that a Squamosa? Colors like a Maxima, but scales like a Squamaosa!!


Nice Present !

Well that is a good question. I was told it was a maxima, but you guys are the experts. They were charging the same price for the squamosa/maxima of that size, so I don't think I got robbed. Actually if it is a squamosa, that would be better....lower light.

What do you think it is? Do you need a shot from a different angle?

 

[MiNdErAsR]

It sure looks like a Tridacna maxima to me. Absolutely gorgeous. Please post more pictures!
:bigeyes:

According to the shell, I would have to say it looks like a Squamosa to me.

Beautiful clam.
That shell looks like it could be either Tridacna maxima or T. squamosa and the mantle definitely looks like T. maxima so I would say maxima.

Awesome looking Maxima. About how big is it?

Well the clam actually was for my wife...however, due to a lack of lighting in her tank (I tried to tell her) I have moved it to my tank...what a heart breaker.

Goldrim,
That clam looks great!! I have a question about the store. How are the prices? It looks like a great store. I might have to make the trip from Asheville.

Prices are pretty good. Kinda high on some softies, but good on clams, sps and fish/inverts. I have only been once as it is about 90 miles from my house....but I will definitely go back.

Outstanding looking clam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone know were to buy unique colorations as this on-line? I am not going to find that beauty localy I can promise you that.

Oops, I see that the place you got it from does sell online. But no pics of their clams. Any onther places to get unique/rare clams or coral for that mater.
