What’s the largest or smallest clam you’ve ever seen?

Saw this amazing derasa at a LFS! It is 19 years of age and 12 inch+ !!

That's a beauty! One of the biggest ones I've seen is the one @Troy V has in his reef. Here's a couple of pics he posted on the 1st of this month. How big is this thing, Troy?

Thank you!

It's just over 30" long and 17" tall. I would guestimate the weight around 150 lbs.
 
I think the largest that I know of was in Ehsan's personal tank in Dusseldorf. Over 3 foot in size Tridacna gigas. Spawned twice in his aquarium and would wet the floor every afternoon around 5pm when it went to sleep...
