Clams foot got pulled off?

[easterly81]

I have a Crocea Clam that since i got it 2 years ago was stuck to a small rock. Some how last night someone knock the clam out of its spot. when i picked the clam up this morning i noticed it was not attached to the rock. i found the rock with what looks like a torn off foot. Is the clam going to be OK, or is done for.

My clam has shed it's foot several times, I believe they do it to detach from their current rock (they can't just "let go"). It probably means it didn't like it's spot. Should be fine (but if it is not re-attaching you may need to find it another spot).

Agreed, mine did the same thing and I put him back in the same spot, a few weeks later he detached again. Since then I put him in the sand and opens wider than ever.
