Boxer shrimp or burgundy starfish attack clam?!

Feeling damn sad... Woke up this morning to see the mantle of my desara clam damaged like something had torn off a large chuck of its mantle... Most likely suspects are the boxer shrimp or burgundy starfish... Anyone has experience of these critters going mad and attack clams? Or could it be an undetected hitchhiker?

I read from Liveaquaria that Burdundy star may be harmful to clam but it may also be due to hitchhiker crabs which are big enough to assault the clam. I had one of such crabs that eat my small clam before.

Regards,
Jeff
