Ultra maxima?
How does one differentiate between a regular maxima vs and ultra?
Is there a set of criteria for this or if it looks like "wow" it's and ultra? Never kept clams before but might be thinking of one soon. |

The 1st grade is a less colorful clam but yet I have seen some very nice clams that were 1st grade.
First picture is what we consider to be a 1st grade clam and the second one is graded as Ultra. Clams view better from the top. Looking through the side glass sometimes they will appear a different color. In Crocea, normally the grading is 1st grade and Electric . Hope this helps. |

This is the same clam. 1st one is viewing through the glass and the second one is viewing through the top.

Yes 'WOW!' is a good description. Ultra's are the elite clams.

Wow never realized there was that much color difference from different looking points. My new tank is doing well and holding its own. Still waiting for that Max and Dersa that catches my eye Barry.

Glad to hear that your tank is doing well.
Have seen any small derasa in a while, just receiving large ones. Barry |
