Did you see any inverts picking on it, did you add anything new to the tank?

I think I see a bristle worm crawling on the bottom where the two halfs of the shell come together now that u mention it

What fish do you have? Even ones that are commonly safe can develop a taste for clam as I found out...

I know clowns sometimes try to host clams and that can cause a lot of problems, have you seen any fish staying close to the clam?

It's possible that the hippo tang developed a taste for the clam's mantle. That seems to happy quite a bit unfortunately. The bristle worm is innocent, as they don't actively kill clams but rather clean up the dead/dying ones. That's a common misconception in the hobby I have learned.
