The Squamosa Clam Tridacna squamosa is a subtle beauty. It is most commonly found with a warm brown mantle patterned with many golden brown or yellow wavy lines. Yet one of its most most striking attributes can be the contrast on the mantle. The darker background is generally accented with lighter colored spots and wavy lines, however, it can also be strong in color. There are varieties with green and blue spotting, and they have also occurred with rose and purple coloring.
