Clam attachment

[Cherie cook]

How long should it take for a maxima clam to attach…and what if it doesn’t?

It can happen right away or if the clam does not like where it is, it won't attach. Damage foot also keep the clam from attach.
I would worry if the calm does not open well and won't attach after a few days where it should (great water conditions, low currents and great light.

I don’t think the foot is damaged…but it did get knocked off where I placed it a couple times. It’s small and didn’t fall far. I built it a little corral so it’s staying put now…opening up well. Guess there’s nothing else to be done?
