Urgent help with my clam!!

[radha]

So I have a crocea clam, and I think something is wrong. My cleaner shrimp was standing on its mantle yesterday morning, and it was closed up. When the lights came on. it started to open up, but its outlet siphon isn't sticking up, like there's a hole where it should be. This has happened before, but the siphon just came right out again, but it has been 2 days! Should I be worried? I tried DT's yesterday, to see if that would make the siphon come out, but no luck. It's opened like normal today, just without the siphon. I'm attaching some pics, to make it a little clearer.
Thanks so much!

No... not that I know of. I have a second clam and it is fine.

I would think that as long as it is still extending its mantle well outside the shell, you are OK. I would start to worry when it stops extending its mantle outside its shell.
