need advice on my derasa

[my hobbies]

this morning i found my lta took a walk right over my derasa the clam was all closed up. i moved the clam to a new spot and tried to blow it off with the powerhead for a minute. the clam opens wide and the mantle looks good but he doesn't extend much out of the shell. is he gonna be ok or is there something i should do for him?????????

Just let it be. Give it some time and I'm sure it will be back to normal.

Yea, no worries. The clam will be just fine. They have that thick shell for a reason! In the wild they can and do remain closed for several days at a time. Additionally, the clam will move about to find the best spot, so as johnnybravo stated, just let it be.
