Nice crocea.
That looks amazingly like one of mine...

Handyman,
T. Crocea has the strongest byssal gland of the tridacna family. It's naturally found in shallow reefs on the rockwork. The T. Crocea should be placed on a hard surface, such as on the rockwork, or a small rock/shell which is placed under the clam in the sandbed. The T. Crocea will eventually bury itself in the rockwork using a special type of chemical to break down the rock.

Anyway, very nice clam!
