I'm glad to hear you don't see the pinched mantle - in fact, possibly with some embarrassment, I think I might have figured that out. Flow is high along the glass since I put those rocks there, and perhaps the clam is just avoiding haven't its mantle flap around.

I don't think a rock is adhered to the bottom of the clam, but I'm not sure. This is all I see when it leans to the side (bad pic):



I'll think on the feeding for a bit.
