my clam is a 3 inch maxima purchased from an LFS a couple of weeks ago.

Problem is I see no foot on him. Looks like a hole where his foot should be. I assume this is not normal, but will this cause his death?

He otherwise opens and closes and reacts to light. Just today I bought a clam hammock to try and keep him in one place and see if a foot appears. I assume the snails, crabs, and fish were the culprits moving him all over when I kept him in the sand bed.

Thanks for your input
