Maxima clams

Do you have an updated pic? What’s the current status?
For acclimating shipped clams, you can temp acclimate, then add enough bag water to cover the clam, then drip acclimate with a steady drip. Depending on pH and salinity, you may need to acclimate for a while. 20mL every 20 minutes does nothing to acclimate and virtually changes nothing unless you’re doing this for 12 hours? It’s probably in shock, hopefully it was healthy enough to recover? Invertebrates need more delicate acclimation procedures, especially clams.
I will take a picture in the morning as my lights are about ready to shut off as it's 9pm here.. thank for advice and will update in morning..
