I was told that this is a Maxima when I purchased it but I was showing a pic to another different LFS and he tells me its a Crocea....can someone help me properly identify this guy?

By the way he is about 5" or so long.

shell looks crocea ish, pattern looks maxi like. i'd say maxi though, as most croceas have worn through scutes completely

I guess the more important question is whether it's one or the other, do I need to care for it differently depending on which one it may be?

give it as much light as you can. acclimate it to yr lighting in about 2 weeks. croceas are a little more demanding of PAR, but what kind of sun do you have?
