And yes, I know Petco has a bad reputation...but a BRS member told me he picked up a clam from his local Petco, which was surprising as I didn't think they carried them.
I visited the Needham Petco last weekend and talked with a guy named Adam. He told me that Petco can special order Tridacna clams and the prices we quoted were very cheap. They can order a 2-3" squamosa (blander colors) and derasa for $40. They can order 2" ultra blue maximas for $50. Clams take about a week to come in and they recommend same day pickup so they can give it to you right in the bag it shipped in.
Does anyone have experience with clams from Petco??? At these prices (half of LiveAquaria) it is super tempting to try...
