Spiny Oyster
Does anyone have any experience with a spiny oyster? They look kind of interesting and according to the following link are easy to care for and reef safe. I have not experience with this dealer so I don't know whether to trust their descriptions or not.

Re: Spiny Oyster
They are easy to collect from the Gulf of Mexico, which is probably why they are available in the trade. I seriously doubt that they are easy to care for in an aquarium. Azooxanthellate bivalves rarely live long in captivity because we can't supply them with the proper nutrients.
