I seriously just wet myself!! Oh wait.. that's water from the tank. Nevermind.

They could call those "SuperUltraMaximalPrimus clams" for all I care, I want one (or three) !!

I posted this one awhile back. They were listed for about $100.00 and they are aquacultured.

Croceas can have scutes though. About 10 years ago I got chewed out on rec.aquaria.marine.reefs by Charles Delbeek because I said something similar about croceas not usually having scutes. I took his word for it because he was CHARLES FREAKIN' DELBEEK !! Bah... maybe these are hybrids or maybe they aren't .. either way they are seriously pretty.

I have 3 croceas and one of them has scutes ? They aren't super pronounced like maximas but they are clearly scutes

Well, typically you never see them with scutes.

Either way, thems is some sweet clams.

Every clam has scutes, its just the size of, or the degree to which they are expressed. Croces just tend to have very minimal 'scuting' (if I can use that word? Haha).

Those are beautiful clams! Wow! I loooooove the first one Andestang posted!
