Derasa Clams - Local?

[PSU4ME]

Looking to see if anyone knows or has a good source to buy these locally? Never liked the idea of shipping clams but I do see some good deals online.

Thanks!

Not super local but OSA in Coventry has 2, I have to admit they aren’t super colorful though.

Have seen them at all things aquatics recently!

I don’t think you’ll find them near the pricing online to be honest, they have great pricing at some online vendors. But tagging along for the ride.

Group buy for clams? I know backwoods reef posted about one on fb but not much interest I think that was for maxima clams.

I saw a few beautiful ones at All Things Aquatics yesterday

I think $225 for 3-3.5”

Spoke with Kevin and Tandy at All Thing Aquatic to confirm the $100-125 price tag

Petco Peabody (pretty decent salt section) had 3 or 4. This weekend they are having a sale on saltwater creatures. 20% off I think?
They were $100 each

225 for a dull colored deresa? WTF...thats robbery.

 

[thrillreefer]

I opted for the $60 skunk cleaner rip-off instead hah. 20% off sale plus a gift card made it all feel good. And tbh OSA had some of the nicest looking fish I’ve seen at a LFS, and frag selection was high quality/interesting too

 

[PSU4ME]

I grabbed 3, let’s hope 1 lives, thanks all!

 

[Kens Bees]

While everyone was looking did a Crocea pop up in any nearby shops?

I ended up ordering from corals anonymous but dropped one in the floor transferring to the tank so yeah, he died.

 

[Ptreef]

European Aquatics has 2-4 inch usually for $60.

Hows the other two doing?
