Its a pinched mantle. A freshwater dip can help with that.

tank is a year old.

fish:
regal tang
black shoulder tang
powder brown tang
foxface rabbitfish
solaris wrasse
cleaner wrasse
mystery wrasse
mandarin goby pair
clarki clown pair

the only fish i ever seen picking at the clams is the clearner wrasse, but i double he's doing any harm

also, seems like this one is slightly more open at night, but still nowhere near where it was 3 weeks ago

If I had to guess I would say that one of your fish is developing a taste for clams. Try putting a strawberry basket or some other sort of protective cover over one of the clams and see if it opens up again

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that

Totally a fish if opening up more at night.

Cleaner wrasses are known to be problematic with clams. Too bad I didn't notice that earlier.

Lol thats what the discussion was with trying to figure something out to cover the clams so that the cleaner wrasse couldn't swim through
