My clam squemosa or maxima

[J77]

Well I've had this clam since it was about an inch or two now its like 5 or 6 inches I bought as maxima but think it might be squemosa

Hard to say without getting a good look at the shell, but the way the mantle looks and the little bit of shell I do see, it looks a lot like a squamosa. If that's the case, then you've got quite the find there, since blue squamosas are harder to find and usually more expensive.
