Nice. I was wondering how well they shipped?
I was impressed with the packing. The clam and other stuff I ordered were all triple bagged. Then all packed inside a thermal insulated bag, packed in with newspaper.
None of the bags leaked and the clam acclimated perfectly.
It was shipped to my door by UPS next day air.

Lets see some ultra clams, colored up Squamosa's, colored teardrop Maxima's, black and white Maxima's, blue Derasa's, and what some call Maxea's but what I call brightly colored up Croceas...

Here are a few of mine that I have had in the past and some that I still have.

One of my current black and white Maxima's, 2".

These are all the rare clams that I currently have, I will add more pic's of rare clams that I have had in the past soon.

Wow Iove the 2nd black and white!

Here are a few of my collection of 20, snapped these today hunting for an anemone that crawled away...

Finally found Derasa clams for scale here, they are quite rare in Europe. Very small, from around 1'' to just over 2''. It's amazing how the 2'' is probably about 5 times heavier than the 1''. Hard to imagine the magnificent beasts they can become :D

Acclimating with a reasonably fast drip

It's huge :p

They had difficulty staying upright in the very coarse sand, so, gave them some shells. Safely in the sump so I can monitor them beter.

Biggest one, also with the nicest markings (they were not wysiwyg, could only choose 'spotted' or 'striped', I got 3 striped and 1 spotted)

This one is developing very nice colour, with more and more green in the center.

The spotted one, has good potential

The smallest one, bit too early to tell what the final markings will be. For now I'm mainly hoping for fast growth ;)
