Hey everyone, I had a clam about a year ago and loved it, was growing probably under the worst light (fluval led light strip) in my tank and probably double or triple (at least) in size before I have had a hungry butterfly (dang pearlscale) killed it. I no longer have that butterfly and my puffer that I have I am thinking of rehoming him if I can find a nice looking clam. My lfs never have any in and if they do they just don't look happy. Any suggestions on where to get some nice healthy looking clams?
Best place for a clam?

I usually don't like to order online, though this might be one of the few times I have to get what I want. I know the people really well at my lfs and have asked them to get a clam in but so far no success

I purchased from @PacificEastAquaculture and they often have some interesting ones.

I think it looks better in person too. I am far from a quality photographer and I'm sure it doesn't help that I only have a phone. I do have the clip on filter at least.

I haven't but I haven't been actively looking for Crocea. I'd like to find a nice blue Squamosa

Those are both very nice. If I wasn't chicken about how big the gigas can get those are pretty cool looking as well.

@OrionN, Pacific East Aquaculture has had some Ultra Crocea for several weeks now: https://pacificeastaquaculture.com/collections/clams-2
My reefing budget is totally maxed out, so any new critters are hands off for me for now lol. ;Greedy;Bored
I hemmed & hawed about this particular one weeks earlier, but it** got sold: https://pacificeastaquaculture.com/collections/clams-2/products/ultra-cultured-maxima-clam-78
(** The URL states ‘cultured maxima’ but the page title states ‘Ultra Crocea’ ... looks like a Crocea to me)
another past sale: https://pacificeastaquaculture.com/...ured-crocea-clam?_pos=17&_sid=50e26f04e&_ss=r
Regards,
Rick

Now they only have a few that is not worth 230 for. Better luck next time to me.
