It looks like a Squamosa but better picture under better white light. Shape of the shells, mantles ect.

Further insp and researching a bit online I believe this is a squamosa clam

I acquired this basically when someone was ******** down their system and got it for cheap so I figured I’d give it a try.
I’ve had it several months and it’s growing and happy with life for sure.
