Pistol Shrimp Burying Clam

[Zakary2003]

My pistol shrimp decided to move his burrow (the big entrance is right under that chalice coral). I love the placement, but he did kinda bury my clam. Should I unbury the clam or will it shake the sand off on its own? The clam has been there for just over two months and usually has great mantle extension and has a good white growth line, so I don't want to move it.

I can't tell if thats a crocea or maxima, but both should be on the rocks, higher up closer to the light. I would get it off the sand onto a rock, especially seeing its on its side. That will solve the problem of the shrimp burying it.

It's a Maxima, but it refuses to attach to anything so it is in the sand. It seems to be doing just fine at around 215 PAR. There is a clam hammock also buried underneath of it, but it has not attached.
