why is my clam always tipping over
I have a clam that is doing great but every now and then it tips over, the color and its mantle look great, but when I face it up it will stay that way for awhile and then it will lay on its side...
any idea what could be going on. |

What kind of clam is it? Your clam is looking for a better place to sit. Is it on the sand? If so put something small and flat burried in the sand under it. The clam will attach to it. This step makes it easy to move the clam from spot to spot on your rockwork later. After the clam has been there for a few days and it is one of the more light loveing clams IE Crocea or maxima. I slowly start moveing it up on to the rockwork.
If it is a squamosa giga's or derasa and I like it to be on the sand, if the clam hasent moved from where I placed it to begin with I just leave it alone. If it does move IE from side to side or turns I know it wants to be elsewhere and I move it to another spot until it sits in one space. The same go's for clams up on the rocks, if they move themselves I don't put them back to the same spot. They are moveing for a reason. HTH Chris
