I got my first clam a week ago and today I noticed a hole near the corner. Is opening its siphon or is it a sign of disease?

Thats a part of the clam
 
Ecoscape Reef Rock
Looks like the in side of the clam. The current goes in there and out the other hole. Clam looks ok
 
Ok great. Thank you all for your input. That makes me feel better.
