Hard to say is the shell smooth if so my bets on derasa if not rule that out. If that's fully open maybe a Maxima since they don't open quite as fully as others but without more pics it's hard to be sure. Squamous will grow much faster than maximas in general so if it's larger than 3-4" that's a decent chance. Maximas and squamous are hard to distinguish to me but other more knowledgeable reefers can probably spot the difference a mile off. Crocea is the least common around here but are usually easier to rule out since their usually in rock or have a half smooth shell from being removed and if not are more pointed and triangle looking.
Just my opinion from researching before I bought my clam lfs around here arnt to educated so we have to be , or get burned lol. Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk |

Definitely a derasa. I haven't seen very many with the spots in quite a while. That's a very nice looking clam.

I don't sell them but we have a couple of very good stores that carry quality clams in the area. I could check to see what they have in stock currently and get back with you.
