Clam from SWF.com

[dazed1]

Has anyone purchased the Gold maxima or the other Maxima's from this site ?
I plan on ordering one of them for my 20L either today or tommorow.
The pictures posted here are generic and I'm sure they all dont look the same. I've email SWF and am still waiting for a response. So any response from user's would be great, specially to know what kind of coloration the clams have.

Dazed1,
I just received the Ultra I ordered. He's deep blue with black lines. Very pretty.

Cool
Got any picture's ? How big is he ? I wanted a Gold one, but guess they just updated the site with "sold out" . Guess i'll have to settle for the 1st grade or the Ultra.

Dazed1,
I received it yesterday and haven't had a chance to take any pics yet.
The order form says the clams will be 2" to 3". Mine is 2". Small but very nice and he seems to be acclimating well to my tank.

Forgot to mention......if you really want a gold just wait a few days. SWF.com does restock constantly. It probably won't be long until they have some available.
I was looking at ordering a flame hawkfish and as I got ready to order.....it was out of stock. A week or so later and they had them again. I got him yesterday, too. Talk about a great looking fish........!!!!

Seriously?? The ultra is MUCH MUCH better looking in my opinion.

Yes, i know. I already feed my current coral's DT's once a week.

I've always wondered what the difference is between 1st grade and Ultra.
ALso i've requested them to send me a pic of the actual clam. That way I know what I am getting.
