I don't know Christy - I have 6 clams and have never had one gap that bad. In that picture the mantle does not appear to be fully extended but that could be just the picture or it was retracting for some reason. You might try and move it to another location that is getting lots of light and very low flow and see if that helps. OTOH maybe it's just proud of it's stuff and wants to show off. Beautiful colours BTW.
