Hey guys! I made a purchase online with one of the UK fish store. I feeling they are two different clam. But the person is trying really hard saying they are the same clam. I need some help here. The one I am trying to get is showing on the right and the other one is on the left. He insist there are the same pattern but I can not agree. What do u all think.
I have no worries about the colour I know they are different between light. It is more of the pattern.

Vendors often increase contrast and color on corals and clams. I would say it is the same clam but either under different lights or with a optimized photo.
sorry to be every specific, the pattern I label in red, I can not seem to find it on the right one. It is a very unique pattern if it is the same one I would imagine to find it on the right one as well?

It looks like a match to me too
Like I said to ben, the pattern I label in red, I can not seem to find it on the right one. It is a very unique pattern if it is the same one I would imagine to find it on the right one as well? Correct me if I am wrong

I agree with you, I also don’t see the same detail pattern. It’s difficult to compare because the clam in the vender’s photo is at a different angle than your photo. Clam patterns and colors are dramatically different depending on the viewing angle. In your photo, the clam is laying more on it’s side.

Was it a WYSIWYG sale?
