Here's another picture, this time though I had to take action once I put the camera down.



Now the clam is happy and open again.

Yeah. At night the clam would be mostly closed and you could see about 5 buds of zoanthids on the leading edge of the zoas. It was crazy but made me think they were building a bridge to span the gap soon. About 3 or 4 days later, the clam didn't open all day, so I had to rip them off the shell. Fortunately, that wasn't hard and the clam was happy again that evening and the next day she was open like normal.

Just got this last week. It's about 1.5-2 inches.

Since I'm new to clams, is this a Maxima?

Pretty sure that's a Tridacna crocea (electric blue).

That thing is in desperate need of an upgrade. That clam can get catasthrophically huge if you'd let it. Definitely take out anything that bothers that clam. I'm not sure you know this but your clam there is the main focus of your tank. I would make that clam my first priority. It's not common to come across clams that big so take care of it. IMO
