Good morning, this is my first post. I placed a new crocea clam in my tank yesterday. Purchased on a frag plug and attached. I put it in chandlers rock frag plug hole. This morning I woke up it is in the sand in upright position attached to the chandler base but in sand. How do I get it to unattached and place back in rock to attach? Should I leave it there? Although everywhere I read it should be in rock structure. Any suggestions.? Thanks
 
Can you get an image of the plug, and clam if able please? Is this a clam cradle?
What type of lighting and intensity?

Welcome to R2R. 🙂
