Tridacna squamosa (Bredimer, Light Coat)

Description

The flesh is green, beige, pearly, orange or brown. The patterns are often spotted or striated with perfect symmetry. Less demanding than the maximum or the crossed, it is rather placed at the bottom of the tank to offer it sufficient stability so that it does not switch when it closes suddenly. The very developed scales of its shell allow it stability on the sandy substrate.
