Bleached Clam

[jcs11236]

My girlfriend bought a beautiful crocea clam from a LFS out in long island.. To make a long story short--The clam has a bunch of small bleached spots on the mantle when she bought it.. According to her she thought it was part of the clam-lol.. Now i have had it in my tank for 2-3 weeks.. Doesnt seem to be getting better nor worse.. Is it suppose to heal in time? and if so how long before it heals? i curently have in on the sand bed, it came attached to a rock. Should i put it higher up? or leave it where it is? It opens and closes just fine when see shadows -it opens fine.. just bleached..
My tank is 28 jbj LED
PArameters
PH 8.2
Nitrate-0
Calcium-360
Alk-7

I'll say dose more calcium has it'll harden the mantle and coralline will appear.

is having my calcium 380, alk 7 bad? I have monitored the levels since i put clam in and it hasnt gone down. does that mean he is not consuming much? im a little confused. I have never really dosed tank with anything. Just do water changes and my levels are constant. I have the 2 part esv but never used it
