Crocea Wedged in V, SHould I move it???

[tngarner]

Just got a Crocea two days ago.

I put it up in the rock work where it could open nicely and be seen from the front of the tank.

I seems to have moved itself (or a snail moved it) and is wedged in a v in the rocks, with half its mantel pointing to the back of the tank. I am not sure it can fully open now that it is wedged in the V.

I went to move it and it seems to have already started to attach its foot to the rock. Is this possible? Everything that I have read made me belive it would be a few weeks before this happened.

It is not fully opening, I would assume since it is still acclimating but am not sure if it could open fully since the rockwork has it pinched.

Should I try to move it to ensure it can open fully? Or is the foot trying to attach a sign that it is happy and I should leave it alone.

Thanks,
Neil

If it's attached I wouldn't move it you can damage the foot. Can you turn the rock around? so is facing the front?

Hummm, now don't I feel like DA. Brilliant, Turn the rock around and we should be good to go.

What about it being wedged in the V of the rock. Is the clam able to move it self to open fully or could this still be a potential problem.

Thanks!!!!

I'll let it be, if it's not happy he'll let go and fall. How big is it?

It's about 4.5" to 5"
