Maxima clam placement

lilbitreefer · Dec 20, 2018

I am looking to bring my maxima clam to a different part of the rocks. I had it in the sand but my scape dosn't give good lighting in the sand. The area I had it in seemed like a comfy little pocket but my turbo snail loves to push it off the cliff, and my RBTA has decided for the first time in over a year to start moving (towards my clam). I think the foot may be injured from one of these falls as it has not tried to reattach to the rock-work since, and it has been about 2-3 weeks now. I'll post pictures of where its at and where I was thinking about putting it.

I wanted to place the clam in one of the dead clam halves that were grown into the rock work.

Maxima clams like rock and HIGH light. I would move him to the best lighting area in your tank with no direct flow.

Get it to attach to a smaller rock and you can secure that rock anywhere that you want with some putty.

I have tried sooo many times. It attached then the attachment isn’t strong enough and is breaks off. I think the foot might be damaged as it has not tried to attach to anything in a while

Maybe try placing it on a ceramic clam tile?
