Unfortunately, once a clam starts to "gape", there's usually nothing that can be done to save it. Sorry.

Unfortunately It's probably already dead or very close and decaying, does it feel stuck open? Clams are next to impossible to turn around once they start declining.

No, you should never dip a clam. what are your water perimeter, how old is your tank? are you using GFO, if so, maybe thats killing it?
