The best way to tell them apart is in the shape of their shells. Croceas have a more rounded shape while Maximas are elongated. A Crocea's flutes are likely to appear slightly worn away toward the base while the Maxima's flutes are more sharply defined. The latter name refers to the relative lack of ribbing and scales on the shell. The smoothness of its thick shell, and the 6-7 vertical folds helps to differentiate its species from T. gigas, its larger relative which is not as smooth and has 4-5 folds. It also has a narrow byssal opening and the incurrent siphon has tentacles.
