A beautiful aquacultured Red Sea Squamosina featuring a soft pink-tan mantle covered in incredibly fine white linear patterning with subtle turquoise accents along the edges. Originally aquacultured by Biota and grown out here at Golden State Corals for approximately 5–6 months, this well-established specimen is now roughly 3.5–4".
While sometimes confused with Squamosa, Squamosina (Tridacna squamosina) is a distinct species native to the Red Sea region, with its own characteristic mantle appearance and patterning. This specimen's incredibly fine lines and subtle coloration give it a completely different look from our Squamosas.

A Note About Clam Color & Photography
All of our clam photos are taken under Kessil AP9X lighting with white spectrum present to provide a clear and accurate representation of each specimen.
Tridacna clams are highly reflective and iridescent, so their appearance can change significantly depending on lighting spectrum and viewing angle. Clams viewed from above can look noticeably different than when viewed through the front glass of an aquarium.
Please keep in mind that aquariums illuminated primarily with blue light and little or no white spectrum may not reproduce the same colors shown in our photographs.
WYSIWYG means you will receive the exact clam pictured, but its appearance in your aquarium will depend on your lighting and viewing angle.
