How long have you had it? They do that when stressed. But with time they usually close back up on their own.

I've never seen a hole like that. Got anything in your tank that may be nipping at it? I'm not seeing it's siphon either.

What fish and inverts do you have? The clam does look a little bleached to me which is an indicator of too little light.
