What’s the largest or smallest clam you’ve ever seen?

Saw this amazing derasa at a LFS! It is 19 years of age and 12 inch+ !!

That's a beauty! One of the biggest ones I've seen is the one @Troy V has in his reef. Here's a couple of pics he posted on the 1st of this month. How big is this thing, Troy?

Thank you!

It's just over 30" long and 17" tall. I would guestimate the weight around 150 lbs.
 
I think the largest that I know of was in Ehsan's personal tank in Dusseldorf. Over 3 foot in size Tridacna gigas. Spawned twice in his aquarium and would wet the floor every afternoon around 5pm when it went to sleep...


WOW That's awesome! What an amazing center piece
