Thanks Russ! I just got it a few weeks ago so no it wouldn't be in Tony's book. I haven't seen it yet so I have to get a copy of that book and check it out

I bet that cost you a pretty penny!

You don't see these available that often so I thought I would share pics of my new 6" Blue Teardrop Maxima.

TY for sharing ... quite magnificent pattern ... did you ask about the origin of it to the LFS?
Do you keep them on hard substrate or coral sand? I keep them on hard substrate.

Cheers

It was $300 shipped but I paid a bit more for Sat delivery. Not bad in my eyes considering how rare they are. I have already been offered 2x more than what I paid!

I don't know the origin but I will try and find out. It is sitting on both soft sand and some rubble.

TY once more for your effort in sharing info :splitspin
Do you usually sit them on both soft sand an rubble?
Have you ever noticed this species to move and look for hard substrate?

I usually try to find a soft patch but those 2 clams have not moved, knock on wood, since I placed them.

BTW... The guy I got it from did not know the region it came from. He got it from a local So Cal wholesaler.
