Yeah, they are apparently a cross between T. maxima and T. crocea. The don't have crazy poppin' color, but the patternnig on them is sweet. I'd love to see one full size.

They are very cool. I've been reading about them quite a bit lately. They're calling them Maxeas. Guess that's better than Craxea!!

cool, is this something you are going to be able to get regularly or are they kind of a one time deal?

Thanks,

Depending how these guys do we'll probably try to get more in the future. We ordered a lot more then they sent us Tridacna wise, so there can be some inconsistacy in the wholesaler. I don't think they will be very hard for us to get; I guess depnding on the season.
