Tyler has a shipment of small maximas (1" to 2") that are truly beautiful for an amazing price. ($32) I picked up 2 myself and will post pics.

also look at his multi colored pocillopora. awsome.

They are, but I've success with them. Put them into a bowl lined with 1" of sand, and then bowl feed them once a week by taking the whole bowl out of the water and squirt some phyto into the bowl, let the bowl sit outside of the tank for 10 minutes for the clam to feed and then put the whole thing back into the tank. The main thing with small clams is "don't disturb them by moving them around" thats why I use the bowl feed method so the clam can be fed without being disturbed.

oh Lord, it would be nice to have some pix and price range :D

Oh heck yeah it is. I was there earlier. :P

Didn't pick up any clams since they weren't the colors that I was looking for. I think Chris took all the nice green ones. Ended up picking up a couple of sps frags and a favia of some sort.

It's a pink pocillopora with green polyps. I dipped it and placed it into the tank before the polyps came out, but you can see the green in some of the polyps. I usually pass on pocillopora, but it looks good and couldn't beat the $25 price tag.

Tyler's picture is different from mine since he runs different bulbs in his setup. Here's his picture of it; same frag, just different angle.

He had three frags of it when I got there, so there should be two left. Let me know if you're interested, Tony. I could probably go back and nab a piece for you.

The clams are tonga tiger stripe blue maxima's, they look nice, but I want bigger ones.

I'm probably one of the few that have never grown a pocillopora. That one certainly is striking and well worth the $25 IMO.

Eric,
If you end up back over there, could you pick up one of the poccis for me? If you don't make it, I'll check Sun or Mon. Thanks, Steve
