Exclamation clam gaping.

I would have posted this on clams direct but it says that they are down.

Recently I have been noticing my new crocia clam gaping for the last few weeks. Whats the best way to help this out? I've always had clams but they have never gaped.

Also this clam has a recent aiptasia sprout on it's shell touching the mantle but not noticably bugging the clam, how can I get rid of the aiptasia on the shell without hurting the clam or spreading more aiptaisa?

Thanks!
