I question fresh dipping a clam
what would be the benefit? it is a invertebrate and typically don't mix well with freshwater have you done this before? on another note, I don't think the clam will make it regardless of what you do.

What's in the tank with it?
Any new additions? Water parameters? How long have you had it?

The picture in my signature is of this tank. This tank is new to us, we bought it from a guy here in our town. It's been in our house for almost a month. New things that have been added in the last week are: RTBA (extra small, other side of tank) and a Kenya Tree. We just did a 30% water change 4 days ago.
Temp: 80.5F PH 7.96 Salinty 1.026

I'm not going to fresh water dip it.
There are two clams in my tank and both have been in there for almost a year. The other one seems fine.

This clam is massive, if it dies I would expect a huge spike in my nitrates and ammonia. I have a 40 gallon in my basement, should I transfer it to that aquarium? It's running MH 250 W. My thoughts are that if it dies in that one a water change would be much easier.

I'm not so sure its a goner like the others....but something is definitely bothering it. Do a close inspection and see if there is something on the shell. I had a snail that parked it self on the shell but close enough that it kept touching the mantle. The clam was closed up for a couple days until I saw the snail and removed it.

if you have hermits or nassarius and it is on its way out they will be all over the clam.
I know when one of the clams in my store is going to die by the way the inverts act..they are like sharks on a blood trail.

right now if your other clam is still alive put it on a shelf up high , if its not in too bad a shape fresh water dip it. look inside the clam to see if snails are on the inside and watch it at night(like 3 am ) to see if snails are trying to get to it.
