I have had mine for a couple of years just sitting on the crushed coral. Did not know that bristle worms were a pest to clams. I guess I will have to keep a close eye out from now on. I did buy a sand dollar for some reason awhile back that moves alot of my frags around and seems to spin the clam back and forth.

Ha, when I got home last night I noticed that the hole Angie was telling me about was just its mouth, or whatever it is called. I was gaping a little bit. I think my pistol is reponsible for the clam toppling over as it was put close to the pistol's cave. Anyway, I think it will be fine, I just propped it back up, but in the sand this time.

Danny, you should really try to prop it up on a chunk of LR, it REALLY comes in handy, just in case you ever want to move it around ,etc... I know lots of people that didn't, and now after having it attatch itself, they wish they would have done so... it's pretty nice to be able to move it around if need be..

I placed my clam on an oyster shell so it is easy to move around if need be.

As I understand it Deresa and Squamosa are better off on the sand, because as they get bigger their byssal foot shrinks and they rely on their weight to hold them down in the sand. Crocea and Maximas however are found attached (or in the case of croceas, bored into) to the rock in nature and stay there.

That clam has always been on the sand Danny, I expect it jumped.
