Captive bred ORA clam ID

[Andresnyc93]

Hello fellow reefers!

Just got my first clam and the person selling them to me said it was a captive bred Ora clam but I want to know specifically which one it is. I’ve placed it on the lower half of the tank on a rock and the hammock the clam stuck their foot on.

Thanks I’m advance!

Yea. It’s a crocea. I have one too. Ordered from AlgaeBarn shipped direct from BIOTA.

Thanks everyone! I paid $80 for it, good price or did I get taken for a dummy?

market value - no dummy - on this point anyway

Thanks, it was so small and full I said why not. I also should mention I have a flame angelfish and really hoping they don’t get curious about the clam.
