Dislodging of clam.... by itself

[pangz]

Hi all.

I have a squamosa clam for about a year already. All this time, it was faithfully attached to a LR at an inclination of about 45 degrees. Yesterday, it suddenly dislodged and i placed it back to its original location. No damage to its mantle, foot, anything... but I am wondering, is it uncomfortable with the original position (due to the steepness of the LR) that it detached itself? Should I look for a new position for it?

It has grown about half inch in this year, and I would like make him as comfortable as it can get. You guys got this problem? Hope you can share.....

Thanks!

As you have mentioned it has grown by alot already... It is definately more heavier then when it first attached itself to the rock.... hence stressing its (those string like things attaching it to the rock) thereforte resulting it to fall

My advice will be.. put it on a sand bed... or on a flat rock

yup thanks... i would like to as well.... but he is huge, hard to find somewhere to put him. for the time being will stick him back to where he was originally.
