Clam ID

[CoralsAddiction]

I traded a wrasse for this clam yesterday. It came from Quality Marine but the fish store couldn't remember what kind it was. I want to say Squamosa but not 100% sure. Thanks.

Looks like Hippopus hippopus based on the shell shape/texture and small amount of mantle extension. Not a squamosa, squamosas have large scutes which help in their ID and most of the time they do not have that sort of striped pattern which is more characteristic of derasa or hippopus.

Thanks. I think you're right.
