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!

Nice, looks like a derasa pattern.

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

This is a great shot of the pattern on the mantle:

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.

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

Yeah, I asked the people over at clams direct and they agreed. I wonder why I can't find any that look anything like it.
