Clam ID

[Chris2500DK]

I bought this non-specified Tridacna. As far as I can tell it's either a crocea, maxima or squamosa, but I can't tell which. Anyone care to help?

i'd guess maxima, could you get a top down shot?

 

[Chris2500DK]

My camera can't seem to autofocus on the clam when I'm trying top down, but I'll see if I can get something.

Got one, hope it's good enough, had to remove the lights that are directly over it to take the picure.

Nice maxima, Here is a link that will help to id clams.

How much did you have to give for it?

 

[Chris2500DK]

Well prices here in Denmark are probably different from prices in the states, but I paid about $50 for it which is dirt cheap here. Usually they sell for $100+ but I guess it not being blue made it cheaper.

It's still just a baby, it's like 2-2.5"
