I might be able to facilitate a half way point for the Edmonton people if I am going down anyways to get a couple for myself.

Thought I would add a little information (not my writeup)while awaiting the clam order

Common Name: Crocea
Scientific Name: Tridacna Crocea
Max size: 6 Inches
Tank size: Recommended in tanks >50 gallons
Food: Photosynthetic but benefits from
zoo & phyto plankton
Reef safe: Yes
Lighting Req: High.
Placement: On rocks
Notes:
Should be placed middle to high up in the rock work depending on the color intensity of the mantle. Blue requires more light than green or brown. Prefers moderate flow and will attach firmly to rock. Easy to care for and moderately hardy but does require more light than bottom dwellers. Possible to keep under PC lighting but strongly not recommended. Purchase clams over 3" in size as smaller has a high mortality rate. Will reach maximum size in 5-7 years.
