Large Crocea clam So Cali

[Project Reef]

I have a very large crocea clam for sale or trade.
He's extremely healthy with awesome mantle extension.
He is bright green when viewed from above and purple/green through the glass. Very nice clam.

He's quite large for a crocea about 6" in length. I'm open to all offers and trades.

He's too big for my tank, I know that sounds funny since croceas are usually in the 2-3" range, but he's taking up valuable real-estate.

[o2manyfish]

Interested in trading for a smaller Green Ultra Crocea ?

I have a 2.5" Ultra Crocea, if your interested in a photo let me know.

That's Dave, but I'm not really interested in clams. I have enough as it is. Although a 3" ultra maxima would be welcomed.

[sberman]

scott

[Project Reef]

Orange Florida ricordea colony, 3-5 healthy decent sized polyps on a small rock.

Small healthy Blasstomuessa Wellsi colony. Cuban Cigars. Tickets to the next Tom Jones concert. Free Massage parlor coupons.

[sberman]

dont have anything like your looking for just acros and montis
and some blue xenia

[Project Reef]

Man I know you got some good stuff Scott, but I already got the sps that are going into this system waiting for me. I'm not going to pack a bunch in this time. I'm going to let maybe 10-12 colonies sit and grow.

[o2manyfish]

How about a couple a Purple Acro Frag, and a a Tricolor frag ?

Large Frags of Course

Dave

[sberman]

dont worry about it just thought i would offer i do have a ultra max but not sure i want to trade it yet let me think about it

[o2manyfish]

Scott I hope that's not the green one you got from me... Cause the green one wants to come back here !!!!

Dave

[Project Reef]

Keep your ultra max, IMO ultra maximas blow other clams out of the water. This is a very nice clam, but I'd take a smaller ultra maxima over it any day.

Dave I'm done with sps frags, But I know you got some connections for the massage palor.

[sberman]

you got to stop calling your frags a frag they are small colonies if anything

[sberman]

no dave the green is not going anywhere i have a 3 and a 4 inch ultra

i think i have like 6 or 8 clams now


sorry ali did not mean to step on your thread will stop now

maybe we can trade some acros later on


thanks scott

[o2manyfish]

Okay so he's looking for a Massage for a happy ending for a silly green clam....

You know I have clams, and access to the happy endings.... So it seems like your clam isn't likely to come to my house of treasures and pleasures.

Maybe someone will offer you a large can of Tetra flakes for it !!!!

Ali,

How about a Rio 1700 Pump, with partially melted cord, dripping insulation, and a nice acrid baked smell ?

A pound of Chaetomorpha ?

20lbs of Scott's Live Sand I am silt sitting?

2 Lbs of genuine coral skeletons, to be used in a Calcium Reactor?

134 Genuine Fish Bag rubber bands ?

3 Small Mantis shrimp, guaranteed to rid your tank of any late night peace and quiet.

There must be something here to trade.

Dave

---- Laying in bed and laughing his fat *** off at this thread

[Project Reef]

I'll take the rio.

[Project Reef]

Do you have any cool chairs from Ikea? If so I'll take that instead.

[o2manyfish]

Ali,

Cause I like you I am going to throw in the GFI outlet as well.

Of course the Rio Plug is kind of welded into the socket. You might have to pick at some of the blackened plastic to see the connectors are there.

I also drilled a 3" #8 Galvinized screw through the back of the outlet. Everytime the Rio pump started to spin the GFI circuit would trip.

Now that I reamed a screw through the outlet it won't shut off on you anymore.

Let me know when you wanna come pick it up. I will unplug it so it cools down enough for us to be able to touch it with the welding gloves.

Dave

[sberman]

ali you made me come back

2 rios and 4 green chairs from osh

[o2manyfish]

Okay the previously offered burnt Rio, and a ZooMed Power Sweep.

A Burnt out PC Ballast

A Hercules Water Pump with a Cracked seal.

A Sander Picolo Skimmmer with used wood airstone

6 Bristleworms

1 Fire worm

22lbs of Scotts Silty Live Sand I am Holding

1 Piece of Live Rock Rubble with Superglued Skin from Dave's Fragged Fingers

1 OSH Green Chair, with 4 pieces of Dave's fingers frag glued to them

7lbs of Nitrogen Rich Tortoise Feces to use to start cycling your system.

And a tiny red hermit crab


Come on Scott -- Top That

[Project Reef]

Osh is too 1990's for me.

I need Ikea, let's be Swedish.

[o2manyfish]

You know we might need an admin to close this thread. I think Scott is using this thread to get his post count over 200 !!!!

LOL, Hey there Mr. Clinton...

Bighead, I'm going to keep this local bud.

Dave, cool croceas, but I don't want them.

[Fishguru]

PR, if you change your mind on the local, let me know, I'll pay shipping. Brent

[cali_reef]

Ali,

I mean business here

http://www.amazingreef.com/Misc/Cigars.JPG

PM me about the trade.

[Project Reef]

You ain't joking!

Check your PM

[sberman]

i should of got one of those for clearing out your garage

btw the tank is comming out good about 1/4 done already

[ferevryoung]

You guys are to much fun. Talk about good reading! LMAO

[cali_reef]

Scott,

I'll save a "Special" one for you. you will be around here next week?

[o2manyfish]

Pierce,

Nice timing... Now you offer Scott something special. Yesterday afternoon we hang out for hours in the backyard talking corals, and he is smoking is Mini Cigars. And now you offer him something pleasant to smoke.

Or is that one of those specially rolled stogies you make out of Nori and dried digitiata with Mangrove leaves?

Dave

[sberman]

i could be around will i be able to drive after smoking this special one

dave i am so sore i was using that buffer for about 2 hours last night

tank is comming along

[o2manyfish]

Hey Scott,

Polishing the Knob can be hard work. I am glad you found a power tool to make "polishing" a little easier !!

The puppy broke her toe nail all the way inside the toe last night. Vet says she will be ok in a week or so, although she is going to most likely loose the toe nail. But she is still moping around the house today.

Hurry up with the polishing cause there is alot of Digitata sitting here to fill in the blank spots.

Dave

[cali_reef]

Dave,

You should have a fire sale on them digitata, I had to try really hard to give my away.

The clam and the angel are doing well, thanks again.

[Project Reef]

Guys if you have any digi's my buddy will take them. He just got into sps recently and is looking for hardy sps.

[sberman]

there is so much digi between what dave has and i have alot of purple
at the frag swap he can grab some

[cali_reef]

Me too... I am sure I will have some nice green and some orange color digitata by the next frag swap.

[sberman]

the way yours grows u will have it in a couple of weeks

[Project Reef]

Heck I wasn't even thinking about the swap. I'll tell him to go.

[sberman]

it is on july 13th so even you have time to get some things to swap

Dude, clams, I got almost over 30 of them right now in the system. I need to post a pic soon bro.

Dude, High five man, I see you're a felow insomniac as well.

[sberman]

i am at work i work from 4.30 p.m. till 5 a.m. must look nice with all those clams i am just starting to get them i think i am up to 8 now with more on the way need to set up the 180 so i have more room

[o2manyfish]

Hey Scott, Pierce and Ali...

It's almost like our own personal thread.


Those 2 tiny Maxima's are turning out pretty cool. The super tiny clam is Black with a little gold on the mantle bumps.

And the large one is definitley purple polkadots on white.

So far they are doing great.

Pierce glad to hear you Angel is doing well. Mine went in the tank and I haven't seen it since....

Dave

[cali_reef]

Dave,

Mine hides too, but I can see him\her thru the holes.

[Project Reef]

I really need to get out there and check out your set-up dave. How are the corals doing without any shielding at all? Clams probably do great without the shielding though.

[o2manyfish]

So far things are going well.

I just added a piece of plate glass over one portion to see how that works for a bit.

Joe Kelley was over this afternoon, he recommened some different sun shade ideas.

Let me know when you want to come visit. Now that the nice weather is here I will be out boating a lot of the weekends.

But the weather is pleasant in the evenings and at night, just give me a holler.

And the Clams are absolutely stunning in today's light.

Dave

[Project Reef]

Cool Dave I'll let you know. BTW, do you have any fish in the outside system? I've always wondered if birds or cats would go after them.

[Project Reef]

Can we please move this thread to the SCMAS forum?

[o2manyfish]

Currently in the outside system I have a purple tang in each tank. I have a fox face in one of the tanks.

I want to add a juvenile Red Sea Emperator. But I am looking for someone to grow one out inside at the same time to see the growth difference in the sunlight as well as the color. The purples outside are growing much faster than the purple inside And I never feed the outside tanks.

Dave

[sberman]

so joe finally made it over thats great so any trades in the works

i thought u was out of town for the w/e

[sberman]

we can just start a new one call it ali"s clams

[Anemone]

Moved here at Ali's request...

Kevin

[sberman]

kevin sorry i missed you the other day at daves i guess i got there right after you left

[Project Reef]

Thanks Kev!

[sberman]

see if this works
one clam from dave

[Project Reef]

That clam looks almost identical to the clam I am offering in this thread.

[SurferStevo]

Ali, do you still have it?

[Project Reef]

Yesum.

[sberman]

ali better check maye this is the one in your tank it is even better in person need to get better with this camera

[Joe Kelley]

I saw Daves system and it was really cool! Some great looking corals and clams!

Joe

[sberman]

did you find anything you wanted are you guys going to do some trading

[Joe Kelley]

I hope we do some trades. I got to get him over to my house. I really am lovin my 180 right now and I got tons of work to do "IN" that tank. The frag swap should be really fun. I feel like I had too many tanks to give any one of them the all the sweet lovin that they need. Now I'm feelin it. I might go with 2 part for a while and off the reactor just to get PH way up.
Don't eat that clam Ali!:D

OXO

Joe

[sberman]

glad to hear things are looking good

when you want to do the trade for the frags have you thought of what you might want

let me know scott
