Got him Saturday. Been in the tank 2 days. He is already firmly attached. Does this look like pinched mantle or give it a couple more days? ( IMG_4186.jpeg IMG_4184.jpeg Bottom clam)
 
Following along for a an answer. I got a tiny maxima recently that looks the same. I've seen plenty of pics of them online that look similar...
 
A little constriction in a couple spots but hard to say what might cause it after a couple days. Doesn't look like it's fully extended overall so a little constricted spot doesn't mean too much IMO. Would keep an eye on it. If it's PMD it should get worse and worse I think?

Par level?

Can you do another top down with the whites on in a another day or two to compare?
 
Doesn't look good man, get a few more top down shots if you can. That protozoan is nasty and only freshwater dips helped but its hard on the clam. Its best to FW dip while the clam is still healthy
 
Just give it a couple days to see if you goes back to normal. If it continues down the mantle, then you'll have your answer.
