My awesome Squamosa!

[smcnally]

I finally got a picture that shows how my clam looks in person. I took the picture with no flash and made no adjustments (other than resize). This is a 10" Squamosa and has a color pattern that I've never seen before. Let me know what you think!

great clam, can you post an overhead shot?

 

[Jeremy Blaze]

Nice, looks like a derasa pattern.

Looks like your tangs are about to have a head on collision as well!

It does look a lot like a derasa pattern, but I've never seen a derasa with scutes on it like this clam has. It was sold to the guy before me as a squamosa though. Hey, it could be something different all together...I have no idea.

 

[Julio]

looks like a definite squamie to me.

 

[Rothie]

No question about it.It is a sqamosa.

YEah, its deffinatly a squami, I was just saying the pattern reminded me more of a derasa.
