Clam

[solojrbb]

Some one gave me a Clam a while back and this thing has gotten huge like 10 inches across no kidding but its not bright colors, well there is some bright blue but mostly brown and stripes like a tiger. Could it be a tiger clam? does that make sense? All I know is its huge and has some color and the stripes look like a tiger and it opens real wide. Thanks Ronnie

No sorry the only picture of it is on my profile and Im not sure if you can see it there or not. Its a big sucker but not too bright on in speckles. Thanks

Does it look somewhat like this one... notice the large scutes on the shell:

Or how about this one, botice the smooth shell (no scutes)
