Crocea Clam questions

[taillonjohn]

Hi, I've had my crocea clam for a week. I've done a lot of research, but still have questions only experience can answer. Pls help

1) It seems to be boring at a tilt. The tank gets direct sunlight through a window for about an hour a day, so it seems to be leaning that way. Will it always be tilted, or will it straighten itself?

2) Now I turn off the skimmer and filter, leave the ph's running, and feed the phyto (DT's). Is this ok or am I supposed to target feed?

3) It seems to be attached to the rock I've put under it (slightly under the sand in the bottom of the tank) When is it safe for me to move that rock to the place I want it in?

Thanks

he will more than likely face towards the strongest light source and shouldn't be a problem

anytime, just don't move him up to fast, let him acclimatize to the light

the truth i that as long as you have fish in your tank that you feed regularly they don't 'need' supplemental feeding. i dose phyto twice a week.

I don't dose phyto at all, and my crocea has been fine for 8 months now. The only time you really need to target feed is supposedly when they're small (1"ish)
