Are these clams GAPING!!!

It somewhat does and somewhat does not look like they are to me. I dont really know what gaping is. Most of the pics I have seen, their intake "manifolds" LOL, look pretty normal. I just want to know if they look ok?

I am no clam expert (at least not those kinds of clams) but they look good to me.

Look OK to me!

no they are not gapping at all. if you think they are all you have to do is dip them in Seacem's Reef Dip for 7-10 min and see the next day.

DON'T dip those clams...

There's nothing wrong with them. The derasa looks just fine...downright purdy! The squamosa images look fine too. Squamosa tend to have a more relaxed inhalant siphon and sometimes look like they are gaping. No worries, your bivalve looks great!
