    Do you mean it lost it's foot?

    Is it gaping?

    Is the tissue pulling away from the mantle?

    Unfortunately not much can be done for that clam, hard to say for sure from the images but it looks bleached as well. Was it in the rock work or on the sand bed? Hippo like the sand bed much like Derasa.
