What about it? I think it is a very beautiful Maxima (may be Crocea)Vili_Shark said:Minh, what do ya think about the green clam on the right, in the pic fishnred posted?
Are you sure? I can't tell but the color is highly unusual for Squamosa. If it is a Squamosa, it would be a clam to kill for. It will get huge and colorful. I know d. Knop state otherwise, but IME, Squamosa are much bigger and grow much faster than Maxima.Vili_Shark said:It's a Squamosa.
Vili_Shark and I was talking about another clam.JustDavidP said:The clam Mariner posted is a derasa. The verticle mantle markings and lack of scutes are prominent.
