Question on Maximas.
I know that they are a rock boring clam but mine keep jumping off.
I bought 3 small Cocoa Keeling (2” to 2.5”)and 1 ultra gold (2.75”) on the same day last Thursday. The 3 Keeling clams keep jumping off a large flat slab every night and I find them on the sand bed in the morning. The ultra gold has put out threads and is anchored.
What do I do about the Keelings, should I leave them down on the sand bed in clam cradles and see if the attach or keep putting them back on the shelf rock?
I had also tried putting them in the clam cradles and the cradles on the shelf rock but still find them in the sand bed the next day.
I also picked up a larger 5” Maxima last Friday and have no idea where he wants to be. Do larger Maximas need more or less light then smaller 2.25” ones?
The larger Maxima also is not extended that well. A little worried about PM but also want to rule out settling in but how long should I wait before doing a fresh water bath?
TIA
