I think you should flip it around so that the excurrent is down and the incurrent is up. Or do I have my holes crossed. (I don't know a lot about clams)

Nice looking Crocea, but I agree about flipping it around.

Clam is looking good. You could flip him around, but I've found that the clams will tend to position themselves if left alone. Being a minimalist, I would say leave alone unless you notice problems with the current orientation.

You should flip it because the "foot" that it attaches with is the side you have up - nice clam

Personally, if it is keeping that position and displaying full mantle like that, you've got a happy clam. I think "let happy clams lie" applies. If it doesn't like the position, it will become quite evident.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Tridacnid keeping! If you haven't already done so, please consider investing in Daniel Knop's "Giant Clams" book and learn all you can about these fascinating creatures!
