Usually crocea clams have that large incurrent siphon, so he is A okay as far as I am concerned!

Does this kind have an exact name?

We group ordered some Ultra Crocea Clams and I got 5 of them and the 2 other looks like this one too and 2 looks like normal Ultra Crocea Clams.

its a crocea

the names like "ultra" or "electric" are names given to them by exporters and wholesalers to increase the price.

What would be the exact name of the 3 to differentiate them from normal Ultra Crocea Clams so if I sell them I can increase the price too.
