Yesterday when I got home I noticed that my T. Max's valve was looking weird. It looks like it was ripped open a little bigger. Today next to that hole was a second smaller hole. Besides all of that it seems to be acting fine. It responds to shadows and can close all the way. Is this clam going to die. Attached is a pic. The picture really stinks, but I labeled where the problems are.
Is my clam dying?

My Clam let loose from the ledge it was on a few days ago. and fell right beside my long tentacle plate coral.
Now 2 days later, it has that same second hole yours does. No other tears, whats going on?? It is otherwise ok I think reacting quickly to stimulous and letting it's mantle out.
What is that second hole?

I just noticed that same tear on one of my croceas! Did yours eventually heal? I hope mine does too as it's my nicest clam in the tank!

Glad to hear the encouraging news!
I just looked at the clam again this morning and the little hole is back. I don't understand why it keeps coming back. It doesn't seem to affect the clam. It still looks healthy like in the original picture I posted. I would just keep an eye on yours for a little while.
