er1c_the_reefer Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 not mine, but just thought i'd share. supposedly a pretty rare morph: true blue derasa. Link to comment
nanoreefnate Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Wow. thats a really nice clam. hmm interesting shape. could be a derasa, but looks like it could also be the same species as the one that was recently discovered in the red sea. Link to comment
er1c_the_reefer Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 probably right, but the store was selling them as derasas this one has scutes... ders don't normally. Link to comment
nanoreefnate Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 yup. common mislabeling of a clam. oh well. whos ever clam that is, he could be rich if he sold it. Link to comment
er1c_the_reefer Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 another one. i'm asking the old clam expert for an ID Link to comment
nanoreefnate Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Linky to the vid of the "new" clam. looks exactly like the one in your pic. another one. i'm asking the old clam expert for an ID i think that one is definitely a Derasa. you can see the classic brown and green rim around it.

er1c_the_reefer Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 i'm going to look into it some more. store had 3 of them and said they were transhipped in, but i forgot to ask from where. my guess is vietnam or indo, but i'll confirm tomorrow. could possibly be from the red sea, but i doubt it. if it's T. costata, it's considered to be a critically endangered species...
