Probably Pinched Mantle

I've got a small (1.5") T. maxima that I've had for just over a month. It appears to be suffering from some PM the last two days.

I've got it in a 60g reef. To date, I've seen no fish nipping or other interaction with other tank inhabitants. Ammonia & nitrite are 0 with both strips and chemical tests. All other inhabitants, including multiple SPS and other corals are normal.

I've never experienced PM with any other clam I've had in any other tank, so if anyone could weigh in on the attached picture, I'd appreciate it. Sorry for the weird digital exposure, but you can pretty clearly see what I'm looking at on the upper left part of the margin/mantle area.

google how to do a good fwd, and do it soon! the clam can survive, but waiting much longer isn't wise. make sure to burp the clam afterwards.
