aquacultured clam

[why_drift]

i have a small aquacultured clam that has decided to let go of the piece of rock it came on and has re attached on the under side of a big rock it a really bad spot, it is in a shadow. will the clam drop off and i will be able to move it again or will i have to remove it myself?

what kind of clam? Likely it will drop off if it's unhappy, but there are ways of removing it.

i am not sure what kind it is, that was going to be another thread, if i post a pic do you think someone will ID it for me?

the clam seems to always connect itself to vertical rocks?

If you place it on a horizontal structure it should attach to it. I think I answered the other thread about IDing the clam.

everytime i put in on a flat surface it attaches, then i come out the next morning and it has moved somewhere vertical. would it be trying to climb the rockwork to get closer to the light?

Depending on the species it may need to be placed on the rockwork. Posting a pic would help....
