Deresa Clam help! (Newbie king)

I’ve had my deresa clam about 2 weeks now. At first it was shy then it was great after a couple days. Now I noticed the mantle is going over shell. Is this normal? Something I should be worried about?

My clams stretch out beyond their shell. They close up at night. Just make sure they are getting some flow and decent light. Then feed them. I generally feel that aquavitro fuel does enough, but I sometimes add other things like reef roofs, arctic pods for variety.

Thank you for info, my clam does the same. How often do you spot feed them? I’ve been adding phyto in the tank everyday.

I broadcast feed around 1 a week. But my tanks have been established a while and I believe they get some of their food naturally.

Nice! Mantles on deresa should extend past shell so it is healthy
