The shell on that looks like a maxima clam. Squamosas have a smooth shell, no plates coming off it. Nice clam though.

^^You're thinking of Derasa clams.

Tridacna squamosa, colloquially known as the fluted giant clam, is one of a number of large clam species native to the shallow coral reefs of the South Pacific and Indian oceans. It is distinguished by the presence of large leaf-like fluted edges on its shell called 'scutes' and a byssal opening that is rather small as compared to other members of the Tridacnidae family.

LOL looks like a baby. The new one is 4". The old one I got when it was a inch and half. I've had it for 6-7 years now and it's about 6" now.

Let me know if it survives I might want to get one

Awesome squamy Red! Hopefully one day I will be able to get me one. I am happy with my blue dotted Cook Island squamy though

Squamosas have a smooth shell, no plates coming off it.

Actually quite the opposite, the defining characteristic for squamosa is the large scutes.
