Does my crocea looked like it has pinched mantle to you guys? Since yesterday it hasn't fully extended its mantle and in the picture you can see there is one place that it pulls back more than the rest. I'd like to give it a dip if it is but don't want to stress it if it isn't. Thanks.





Here's what it normally looks like

It's gettin picked on in my opinion, mine looked the same and it took a few hours of watching to find my CBB snacking on it

No other clams in the tank. No emerald crabs just hermits. Skunk cleaner touches him sometimes but that it. No nipping fish either so it's a mystery.

Maybe I'll try and move this one and see how he likes it. He has extended more but still doesn't put that one spot all the way out

I'd give it a shot, I was really amazed that mine found his way back he moved from the back of my 29 bio to the front over night
