Foot "came out" -- Did I just murder my clam? *pix*

[Newreeflady]

Ok, so here are some pictures. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures the first day. But, I snapped a few shots yesterday and today. I just thought about it today, I should've taken pix so you could see the hole through it!! Well, the large rip is healed, I've taken a pic of it:

Here's from Yesterday, May 9: (sorry for the dirty glass. I finally cleaned the spot.)

Here's May 10th:

You can see that it is still not all the way in its shell on this side

Here is looking through its incurrent siphon, where there was a hole yesterday!:

Here is a picture of it normally:

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I just did another small water change. I'll take more pics over the next few days.

Thanks for all of the help and well wishes.

The clam looks pretty normal other than it's byssal threads are dropped. I think sit it back up so it can get the light it needs and it should be fine. Put it up on the rocks, crocea's especially like to be on the rocks.

Ok, I'll turn it upright tonight. I can't do it now since I can't get into the tank while the lights are on.

The last pic is from a while back. It has not looked "normal" I can assure you, since I know what it looks like normally... but, it is getting closer to normal day-by-day

thx,
