The snail was inside. I first noticed the pinched mantle, watched it for a few days, eventually saw the snail on the outer inside edge of the shell but everytime I went to grab it with tweezers the clam would close. At this time the clam still looked healthy but within a few days of first noticing the snail the clam was dead. When I was able to get the snail out to get a looked at it I was able to identify it as a known clam killer. I have no idea what it came in on, never saw it before and haven't seen one since.
