One of my trusted suppliers has a ton of clams in; both big and small!
Do we want to do a clam group-buy?
Sm. Blue Maximas: $60ea
Sm. Gold maximas: $55 ea
Lrg. Blue Maximas: $85 ea
These are mari-cultured clams from Tahiti.
Please note, there is some speculation that clams from Tahiti do not fare well in our aquariums due to salinity levels. While I can not attest to the following personally, my supplier mentioned: "The reason might be because clams coming from Tahiti are collected from waters with higher salinity than what's found in our aquariums. The salinity of the water when the clams came in was at 1.029. We bring up the salinity of our systems to 1.029 when we receive these clams, and slowly bring it down to the levels seen in the home aquariums of around 1.026. We have had some of these clams for as long as 2 months and have not had any major casualties (8 out of 200)."
Hope that helps and let me know soon!
