Is it a question of owning, or seeing? I have not seen it in person but did notice it on their portal. Great price in my opinion. I thought it said "rare" though.

It is kind of a sub-group of the clams we have known in the past as T. squamosa. Similar to T. noae which we known forever as Teardrop Maxima which was classified as T. maxima before it got re-classified

I saw these available... I may have to get one. One of my favorite species after Hippopus Hippopus.
