a few weeks ago I got a small maxima clam (about 1.5").
I placed it on a small rock at the bottom of the tank. The rock's cupped a bit. It's not too close to the duncans I have.
It stayed in place for about a week, then I saw it turning around, but staying on the rock. a week later it moved to the other end of the rock. Yesterday it's on the sandbed. Facing up, so I am sure it didn't fall. I saw the foot moving around. Dartfish lives under the rock not too far, but I rarely see sand on the clam.
It's open as it should, color looks great and healthy.
Should I move it closer to the top? Let it wander and find its own place?
I have 4-bulb T5s supplemented with an S-Bar. The flow is moderate.
