Crocea, and a pretty good one at that. :yes:
And rock or sand would be ok, as long as it has something to attach its foot to. I always prefer rock so it can be higher up and closer to the light.

Is it OK on the rock or do they prefer sand????

I have never had a problem with them on rocks.... I think that they are naturally rock boaring clams but I could be wrong. Somebody can correct if i am.

That is a great looking clam!:yes: . I would definately put it on the rock work. Crocea have the highest lighting needs among clams, and they are rock boring clams. I must tell you again that is a beautiful clam, wow!
