This crocea has wandered my reef within 2-3 inches of where I want him to be---except in the rocks. Wouldn't attach. 2 years and he wouldn't attach. I'd put him in the rocks---he'd 'leap' out and end up in the same spot.

In the current terrifically high flow, he was getting blown about, but began to try to attach. I gave him some rocks in his favorite spot, and lo!
Threads.

My T crocea is about 6 inches directly in front of a Tunze Stream 6100, seams to really like the flow, maybe your clam wanted a bit more fluff in her mantle too. :)
