This maxima clam, Tridacna gigas, also known as the small giant clam, is a species of bivalve mollusk found throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
For hundreds of years, Tridacna gigas has been a staple of curiosity cabinets and sideshows that spin tell tales to gullible audiences. This is probably why mollusks of this size and upwards are often referred to as ‘murder clams’ in popular culture. But the truth is that even the largest mollusks are of no danger to humans.
The specimen presented here is of unusually large size and consists of both shells, which is very rarely to be found.
