Rockfish Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 i've been looking online for either a T. Maxima or T. Crocea and it seems like no one has any and the ones that they do have are small and overpriced anyone have any good reputable sites for clams they can point me to? Or, does anyone just have a clam they done want? Link to comment
jonrx Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Really? Everyone in NJ has been getting clams in like mad recently. Link to comment
JoeJ Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I'm not sure about what pricing you're offered on the east coast, but I've been thinking about getting a clam here (http://www.clamsdirect.com/) for my next purchase. Link to comment
basser1 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 clamsdirect just posted some new maximas today! However, before purchasing from them, you may want to read this thread first: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthre...hreadid=1591746 It appears some folks in a reef club in the St. Louis area did a group buy from clamsdirect and most of the clams came down with pinched mantle disease and died. Worse yet it also infected those who already had clams in their tanks. Some had these clams for quite some time. There is an on-going dispute with their "customer service"? Too bad because clamsdirect has some of the nicest maximas I've seen! Link to comment
Rockfish Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 found a very cool site every one......aquacon.com check it out!! Link to comment
basser1 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Whatever you do.... Stay away from them! I've read many negative things about them. When you put aqua and "con" together watch out!! Link to comment
dsoz Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 There have been a lot of people in my area that have new clams from ORA, and several of them had pinched mantle too. Same story, new clam from ORA, it infected a bunch of clams that they already had, all died off... ending up with no clams in the tank. dsoz Link to comment

Whereas I would think the ORA clam probably came from an LFS, since ORA doesn't sell directly to the public. I would wonder if the PM came from the LFS tank? Link to comment
JoeJ Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 So, would a standard 3 week quarantine be enough to observe for pinch mantle disease before you place a clam in your tank with all the others? Link to comment

Sorry, I went back and read the thread again, and one of the guys was talking about getting it from clamsdirect. The other guy, I think, got his from a LFS. http://www.pnwmas.org/forums/showthread.php?t=10298 dsoz Link to comment
