Looking for some nice very colorful Maxima or Deresa clams. Has anyone seen some locally in their travels?

Really.

I always thought of them as more of a fish store. I know they have a ton of fish.

There doesn't seem to be too many LFS in the area that I have seen carry a large amount of clams.

Almost every time Ive been there, they have had atleast 20 in stock. Mostly croceas, so Id call to make sure they have others.

Exotic Aquarium usually has quite a selection, usually higher than what I would pay, but that doesn't say much.

They are in Daytona. All you have to do is email the guy off the website, and he will let you go out there.

I went by and they had a really huge Gigas there (unfortunately already sold). I think I've been bitten by the massive clam bug.

Now I'm on the hunt for an 8-12" clam
