Is my Crocea alright??

it had sitiated itself strangely on the rock and basically lying to the side because of the shape of the rock. I tried to see if I could move it some and it came loose with me barely moving it, there are a few threads left on the rock from what I can see, but its already opening back up after like 2 minutes, will it be fine, Ive never moved one before like that.

if the byssal threads are attached you shouldn't try to pull or move him. it sounds from what you said there were only a few threads and the came easily so he will probably be ok. if you are to rough with an attached clam you can damage the byssal gland, which can be fatal.
