Are the blues actually squamosas?
A couple of stores here got just about the same shipment (judging from the pictures) but I'm such a clam newbie I don't know the difference between kinds. I am picking up a couple this coming weekend, letting them settle a bit from shipping first before they get moved again.

Squammies have really small bysal openings right?

This is the best I can do for you guys... kinda cliche these days, but sorry about the quality... phone pic! lol
BTW... whatever it is, it's easily my favorite clam so far. And for what it's worht, it looks exactly the same (shell and mantle) as the other clam that I have that I was told was a Squamosa... and it looks nothing like my Maxima. That said, please confirmn... I'd like to know!

Does look great. Patterning is indeed more typical of squamosa. As stated the true test is the byssal opening, squammies have them very small compared to maxima or crocea. Mantle and shell otherwise can be really similar looking.
Nice score! Man I hope some more of these pop up some day.
