I'll try and take a picture of the shell tonight when the light setting is near dusk. I understand what you mean by the she'll shape and texture. I'm certain it's not a Derasa. This particular clam is approx. 10" in width (flesh of mantle folds), and easily 14" in length, 6" tall (just the shell). The size of just the shell is approx. the size of a football.

Sorry to hear about your loss. It's amazing how we get attached to our display. btw - SO jealous of the size of the displays some have out West. lol

As for sharing/showing off online/CanReef.....I can understand some not wanting to share their little slice of the ocean. I know some are fairly private and don't want to share their little piece of solitude from the world.
