Help! I think I killed my clams!

Hi guys,
This is my first post on this forum, and I'm sorry it's such a worried one. I got two maxima clams the other day, and they seemed fine and happy. Then I did a 30% water change and they have not opened for a few days now. Should I be worried?

Well, never mind. I ended up talking to a clam guru at work today and he assured me I actually have a Crocea clam and that it's pretty darn hardy. And, after observing the tank for a while, I figured out it was the coral beauty angel nipping at the mantle. And I thought the CBA's were reef safe?!?!

Coral beauty's are 50/50 reef safe. I wouldn't risk putting a coral beauty in a reef tank.
