Don't toss the Alveopora. Sometimes they'll be for sure gone and then all of a sudden a new polyp will appear and start reskinning the skeleton. Not often, but it has happened to me several times with montis, Acros, Gonis, and Galaxea. Alveopora are easier than Gonis so I'd give it a higher chance than Gonis?
O I tossed it. Had 3 heads left rest were jellied.

Goni and other Aleve are fine.

Sounds like the clam is dying, or being eaten alive. No, not normal.
Couple pics.

Bristles trying to go underneath and inside.

Had the clam for 3+ months.

No foot correct?

But it says they can regrow a foot! On the internets. When to pull it's not fully gone.
smell test? If yucky, clam is gone. If not, there is a chance for come back.

You got that sand free bedding don;t you? You do have an option of coral banded shrimps, arrow crabs... But they have problems of their own.
