crocea judging by the shell.

the mantle makes me think deresa.

But you could post the pics in the tridacnid clam forum for some more folks to comment.

It looks like a deresa to me.. from the pics the mantle appears smooth on the sides.

It would help to use a flash so we could see definition of the shell.

Looks very similar to what I have, most likely it is a Deresa .Here is a picture to compare

derasa for sure, croceas have a much larger mantle than that
