How to dislodge clams?

[Raiden]

Hi,

Will be switch from my current tank to another tank in a few weeks' time. Would appreciates if anyone has a simple and safe method of dislodging clams from their current position? without hurting the clams, of course.

Your advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Use a pair of scissors to cut off the threads they use to secure themselves

Then slowly nudge it to release it's foot

Do not pull it out and exercise extreme caution not to hurt them

A very sharp razor blade is better. Only cut the threads and not the fleshy foot.
