Seems to be a Crocea, although I'm not 100% sure..
Health is easiest to check by moving you hand over it, if it closing quickly while shaded, it is in good health.

Keep an eye on the cyano/diatoms on the sand bed though... How old is your tank?

two months is fairly young tank for adding a clam.
Cycle has probably not completed, so keep a close eye on parameters. Especially KH, Magnesium, Phosphates and Nitrates.
Real nice clam, so let's keep it happy!

From the angle of the photo, id agree it looks like a crocea. But, personally id consider its mouth "gaping" and a little more open than i would want mine to look. keep an eye on it. Its a little rough on a clam to be in a new system so make sure your parameters arent swinging. How long is the clam?

I agree, clams prefer not only fully cycled tanks but very mature tanks. Unfortunately the odds are stacked against you here, but I hope all works out well for you! Pretty clam!
