Where are the gigas?

Hello, I am currently itching to get a gigas clam to round out my collection. I am having trouble finding any locally or online. They were fairly common a couple years ago, where are they all hiding? I heard word that there was some new CITES stuff with them but cant back that up. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Gigas Clam
clamsdirect also has them but their site is down for updates!

 

Have I got a deal for you ! We have one here in this tank that has to go before its to late , What size and color Gigias clam did you have in mine .

 

I can snap pictures of the one in our tank if you're interested. You're also welcome to the two clownfish that call the clam home

 

A beautiful clam with 2 clowns that host inside it. Such a deal!

 

Id love my clown to host anything, but he prefers to host me fingas!

 

Your nuts aquaboy.... LOL....

 

no really, when i put me fingas in the tank, he kind of nibbles on them a little and follows them around the tank...................

 

At this point any color would do. Size wise 4-12"+. My tank is a 48"x36"x24" with 3x 400w 14k halides with t5 actintic suppliment. I already have some squamosas in my 55 and they will soon be transferred. But since I have the space I figured I could house a gigas for at least some time.

 

There are some photo's of it here somewhere with the clowns sticking the heads out of it Its 10 to 12 inches long about 6 -8 inches tall About the size of a Nerf football maybe a bit larger ? Pinkish to purple color with bright blue dots . It's Rather nice looking clam I'd not have it if it where not a nice coloration .. And has been under about the very same lighting its enire life here. We've had it for 3 plus yrs now.. Either go to my Sponsor's site here Aquatic Arts Technologies and contact me there or P/M myself or ammcarrig if interested and we can set up the shipping of it . I'll have someone from the coral farm I manage to pick it up to have it bagged and tagged for proper shipment.
