Does anyone have any pics of an *unhealthy* clam?

I'd like to have some pics so I can compare to my new clam and make sure he is happy and healthy.

His mantle is fully spread, and the mouth is not gaping (but I can see some of his insides) and his 'blowhole' (I'm guessing that's what that is) is extended upward, looking like a little hill.

He snaps shut (but not fully) when disturbed, but comes back out quickly.

He is a Squamosa ***I think***, and based on what others here have said, but I want to make his home a good one, so....
