    We have 4 Tuamotu maxima clams now on the website. And they are awesome. If you are not familair with these clams, Tuamotu maxima clams are a new and incredibly unique clam entering the saltwater hobby in the US. They come from Tahiti. They are unique due to their very rich and intense coloring not seen often in clams previously available. The shell is rounded and oblong similar to a football. It is also very dense and heavy. The clam mantle does not expand out as much as regular maxima clams.

    We actually received a total of 8 clams but sold half of them yesterday to those people who requested a private viewing from our previous post.

    The clams posted on the website this morning are choice colors. They all have an at least 5 inch shell length. A couple are just under 6 inches. They range in price from $189.99 to $259.99. Here are pictures of two of the clams for sale now.
