Just added this guy to my tank today. Gave me quite a scare when I was actually placing it in my tank. When I finished drip acclimating it, I picked it up by the base of the rock it was attached to and by the shell with the other hand. It felt like the foot had become loose during transport but I turned it over gently a few times to "burp" it. As I was turning it, the foot came completely detached from the rock and I freaked out thinking I tore the foot. I immediately set it down on the rock in my tank and it opened within a minute or two. I think it must have mostly detached itself from the rock during the car ride home and I just helped it finished when turning it over.

Anyway, its been in the tank for almost three-hours now and still seems perfectly fine. Reacting to light, etc. Here it is....
