Clam Help

[TiberianSun]

So this is our first Clam and so far it's been doing great. We recently noticed one side wasn't coming out as far so after some reading we opted to move it to an area with more light. Does this look ok?

clams in trouble if its doing that... check underneath and around the mantle for two things..

Pyramid Snails . small white spiral shaped.. about the size of rice or a bit bigger.

A big flat worm...

The mantle (blue fleshy stuff) should come out a lot more. No idea what the problem might be.

So it's not attached to the rock yet although it's been several weeks since we bought it.

Thanks for the help. We found a large flat worm under it and today it's looking a little better.

Well today our Clam looks to be no better. Here is a current picture. Though we found a worm at the base we did get it removed. The Clam was originally attached to an old shell but now it seems to be letting go of it.

Anyone have any thoughts?

My guess is that it's a gonner. It should react if you pass your hand between it and the light.

Water parameters are good. We did have a small salinity spike about a week ago though.
