Some of these prices are absolutely ridiculous. I understand they can charge whatever they want but it's getting out of hand..

I got mine for 140 with 5% cash back from before and 50.00 gift certificate from previous buy. Looking for 1 for a long time.

My Foxface does not bother my clams.
You can always get rid of the Foxface, exchange your's for a smaller one.
I guess it is just priority assignment.

Crazy. I didn't know you could get these again.

Grow it big, and take pictures!

Nah. Even LA coupon does not apply to DD and vice versa.

MondoBongo · 07/15/2019, 07:06 AM

dude that's so cool!

i saw these come up the other day and was already scheming on what i could remove from my tank to make room for one.

maybe i just wasn't paying attention, but i feel like these dropped out of nowhere?

OrionN · 07/15/2019, 07:11 AM

These are hardy large clam. None imported for at least 15 years. LA had 20% off for a few days last week. Not anymore now. I am sure if one wait a little some special will come up.

$200 for something that until like 3 days ago was made from unobtanium is a steal IMO.

i can't wait to start seeing these popping up in people's tanks.

I thought about it until the eight line became available. It would look neat in my office tank until it out grew it and then a possible separate tank plumbed into my 180 at home like our friend Troy Valentine
