Here's the newest clam:

Here's the older clam:

no such thing as a stupid question

the clam in the first pic is a Maxima and it looks fine. the second clam is a Crocea and it also looks fine. some Croceas tend to hold there incurrent syphons open a little bet more then other clams. in croceas it not really anything to worry about
