Scott,
I'm pretty sure that Clyde's clam is a squasmosa. I have noticed that they are often labeled incorrectly as a maximas by various wholesalers who obviously can get more $$ for a maxima than for a squasmosa.
The best way to identify them in my opinion is the slight spacing between the scutes. On the maximas the scutes are very pronounced, however they are spaced much closer together.
FWIW, Nathan
