Well I can not tell from the picture, but take a look at this link from last month's Reefkeeping magazine. Identifying the Tridacnid Clams It should help you identify them for yourself. Nice tank, Rob

Going from left to right, Maxima, Squamosa, Crocea. I can tell the left clam is a Maxima by the mantle and the side view of the shell.
Maxima's have that tapered shell if you look at the side.
The middle Squamosa clam has the nice wide mantle flaps, and the traditional markings.
The clam to the right is the Crocea, I can tell by the Mantle shape and the short robust shell shape.
Very Nice Specimens!!!!!!!!!
