i doubt its wysiwyg. and some of the pics they show arent even clams. not to mention the site is rediculous, especially navigation.

Clams Direct is the best place to buy clams. Barry is great to deal with.

clamsdirect is cool, but hasn't had much in selection, especially maximas for over a year. makes me wonder if capbay actually has those clams or if they just filled it with pics to test/develop the site with.

manderx & rekn,

I live in Kennesaw Georgia and I buy from Cappuccino bay almost on a weekly basis. I can absolutely confirm that they have those clams. WYSIWYG ! No gimmicks or fake photos.

They have the selection they claim....the quality......and great pricing. Most of my reef collecting life I've concentrated on soft corals and fairy wrasses.Clams have never been a priority for me. After seeing the beautiful clams Cap-bay is bringing into their shop, I'm now looking to purchase one for a new tank I've set up. Just waiting for the tank to cycle properly.

If anyone on this thread is from Georgia I think you can confirm what I'm saying.

rekn,

I agree the site is way to busy. Less it more. Lets just see the animals and get down to business.

You sir are sadly mistaken. Those clams are real and they do carry that many. There isn't a store within 100 miles that has the selection of clams,sps,lps etc..
