Is this a pinched mantle? I bought this Squamosa about a month ago. Its huge and looked wonderful for a while. I rencently had to move him. twice actually within a two week period ( anemone settlling in) is this just a sign of stress from the moves? Im not sure if you can really tell from the pic but the mantle is pulled back in the shell and curled over itself. I have 5 other clams in the tank as well and all appear to be healthy and happy.
What should I do??

what do you recommend? Should I leave him be for a little while and see if anything happens or do I need to do a FWD before he gets any weaker?

this same thing happend to my Green/teal squammy, i would do a FW dip, and add a little iodine to it. make sure the water is the same temp and this may need to be done a few times, i onlydipped mine for 10 minutes, he wasnt happy for a day or so, but ever since he is very happy chck my gallery for a photo of him now .
