Crocea won't attach...

[SHOmuchFUN]

I have been placing my crocea in various different places in my tank and he doesn't seem to want to attach to any of them. I've been keeping him mid-high level in the tank and I've been told that they prefer the rocks. It seems as though he may attach for a few days, but later I find him either on his shell (mantle facing the glass) or find him toppled down the rockwork.

Is there any trick to getting a crocea to permanently attach itself? I assume that you place them so that the flate, white-filamentous/flesh looking part of the clam is facing the rocks and its mantle faces toward the lights...

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

you have tp be patient, sometime they take a while to get used to a certain spot before they attach. Mine attached to a rock high up in my tank then decided to drop down and dig himself in the sand and attach to the bottom of my tank.

I wish that my croceas wouldn't want to attach.

DON'T MOVE YOUR CLAMS! Let them stay in place for several months at least! Nothing happens quickly in an aquariums...
