Can someone tell me how to tell when a clam is "gaping" and possibly in trouble? I see my clam's "mouth" (whatever it is called, sorry) open different degrees all the time. Sometimes it is closed, other times it is fairly wide open, enough to see inside the clam. How do you know how much is too much? Is it ok, as long as the clam still reacts to stimul (closing when something moves over it)
Does anyone have pictures of normal opening vs gaping?
Is this gaping or normal?
