Clam moved without its foot?

[MrRyan112977]

I woke up and checked my tank out and my clam is in. New spot but it's foot was left behind. Is it a goner? Is this normal?

Not well ..
But it can do another
Put it in a well place not sand
And see if react to light and to touch and if close well or remain open in the low side

okay i picked it up and moved it it did react and closed up tight. I placed in it in a new spot, and it is starting to peak out... hope it is okay. it has been finicky since i got it. I just cant seem to make it happy. I have nice flow and light I my tank could it be too much?

Hope it falls down for the flow
But verify that you have not platelmints flat warms in the night...
To restore i use sponge power korallenzucht

What kind of clam is it. Squamosas are sand clams. mine walked around the tank quite a bit.
If its moving its looking for more light or better flow.

Hard to know for sure if that is actual foot or concentrated byassal threads. Clams do not sustain foot damage unless manipulated by some means, larger fish, larger invert, hobbyist.
Check for Pyramids snails at the base, post a day light image when able.

It's a maxima, I moved it to a better spot and it is opening bigger than I have seen it open yet! Fingers crossed
