That’s rough. Probably not going to make it.

I don't think that clam is alive anymore sadly. You should do a "sniff Test" to make sure, but even if it was alive a clam of that size would most likely perish in a matter of time.

What's sniff test like smell it ? I'm new to clams so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question

Agree on death. I wonder if clam was already in trouble prior to wrasse's behavior as wrasse generally will not bother them
