Can someone help ID this clam. I have 3 others 2 maxima and 1 Darsa but mantles look nothing like this one. If you zoom in the bumps on the mantle have an opening and look like mini bi valves

Mantle looks slightly pinched. Assure not too much flow, salinity not high and calcium/a;l not elevated.
Inspect also for any snails or hidden crab within causing stress.

I rescued him from a lfs surrender. He was gaping so bad and really pinched. I keep my tank prime habitat for my other clams and spot feed the all with Algea Barn phyto and oyster feast. I did a 5 min fresh water dip and his inside looked clear and normal coloring.
