I have had this 12" clam for a couple of years. As it has grown I have noticed splits in the outer layer of flesh on the mantles. Is this a disease, injury, or simply an over anxious owner? I hope that you can see what I am talking about in the picture. Thanks
 
I can't see anything in this picture, except for a cool clam.
 
I agree, looks like normal mantel coloring to me. Maybe it is just a color pattern that wasn't supposed to develop until the clam got to a certain size.
 
Thanks, I figured I was probably being paranoid. My smaller clams of the same species dont have them so I thought that something was wrong.
