My new Japan Okinawa rare clam
Bought 2 rare clam yesterday . They are coming from Japan Okinawa . You won't see it often , because it's very hard to get it from there. Please tell me what you think about it.

Here's a good read on the giant clams from the region (specifically, the Food and Agriculture Organization):
MARKET SURVEY OF AQUARIUM GIANT CLAMS http://www.fao.org/docrep/005/ac892e/AC892E01.htm (an excerpt): "Japan does not import aquarium giant clams at present, and local supplies come from Okinawa (mainly Ishigaki Island) and Amami-ohshima. The species commonly found in Okinawa are Tridacna crocea, T. squamosa, T. maxima and Hippopus hippopus. T. crocea accounts for more than 90% of the total landings, most of which is consumed as food in Okinawa, while only very few are distributed as aquarium pets." The rest of the survey is a pretty good read as well...just wait until you get to the retail pricing in the area. Cheers, Ray
