Clam detached from rock

[corals]

Help. Today noticed my clam is detached from the rock it was stuck to. Is it a sign of the clam dying ? It is open up ok .. but just that is no longer attached to the original rock.

How do i attach it back to the original rock ?

Hi,

Does the clam attach itself again to a rock?

To be sure that it is heathly. turn the clam upside down & see its mantle. there shouldn't be any hole opening up. Also, if the shrimps keep pestering it, another sign that the clam is dying. IMO shrimps r one of the earliest ones to detect the clams r dying & feast on them.
