Details

Tridacna squamosina - The squamosina clam is sometimes confused with the similar squamosa clam. The Squamosa clam is a relatively new clam to the aquarium trade and is cultured in the Red Sea. It is easy to tell a Squamosina clam from other clams by its unique, bright lines running through the mantle.
