You guys! 6.gif

 

I have 3 words for you: TYREE SPACE MONSTERS! omgomgomg

 

It took me 2 hours to acclimate everything. And I just finished a 2 hour glue-down and re-arranging of stuff. Acros are pissed off, some polyps are pissed off, it's a lot going on.

 

Here's one pic to tide you ovah.

Online. IRL.

Even with a crappy cell phone pic, this clam is superbly marked.

thats one hell of a clam

I still can't believe I bought a Squamosa. This and Derasas are my least fav clam. Thanks to Zeph all I look at are Maximas. But there was something about this one that just had me from the moment I saw a picture on Divers Den. It's an ORA.

 

It's a neat little animal, the shell is very sharp, and from top down the clam looks more tan/brown peach. This one looks absolutely lovely from the side view just like so.

That clam is beautiful! And I don't like Derasas or Squamosas. I think the mantles aren't as big or pretty as Maximas.

 

But you scored big time!

 

*I promise I'll read your thread more often! The client is driving me crazy and I end up working at night. :rant:
