Blue Squamossa for sale: long Island
- Thread starter onegreenray
- Start date
the more i look at this clam the more i belive it not to be a true blue squamosa, looking at it thur the glass will give it a blue apperence but if you look at it from the top down it is green. the 12k bulbs will make it look more blue, but take that out and i think the true color of this clam to be green.

Deanos, great article and great find. Note the Solomons are only importing alot (since have stopped) becasue they are culturing them, not becasue they have been pulling them from the wild like they have been in Vanuatu, the MArshalls, Fiji etc.
Ray, not sure if I would sell it at all quite honestly (if it were mine). Even if I found one (let's say from a client) I would likely keep it. Guess that says the value can't be priced for me.
Generally speaking, though, the MR community doesn't drop 8 small on a clam - there are only one or two that might (and have the systems that can maintain one that size) but even then, that is a large number to pay. That is just an observation based on no empirical evidence, just observation over the years here on MR.
That last pic is nice - you running 20k's?
If I had to put a price on it, I would say under $300 - but that's just me, and no reflection on what it may be actually worth. I tend to underprice :banghead:

Ray, post # 43 was posted after I said note about post 41 - after seeing post 43, I might agree with you - this may be a nice green squammie and not a true blue - still a great specimen and colors.

trust me i have seen greens, feel free to stop by, i'll pm you my addy and cell number. on that note good night guys i am done with the debate.
I seen that clam in person once or twice and I am not color blind, that clam is blue.
Ray, people here can't affort what you want. No need to try to convince them its color. I know is blue and I can't drop $800 on it. Check with Warren in a few months, he should be ready for it in the new house.

That is a "true blue" squammie clam. Ray beat me to it by minutes when it was for sale 2 years ago and I have seen it in person in Ray's tank.
