what kind of clam you got? I know croceas have a tendency of "falling down" on the sand, you can try pry it up with some rocks and put a piece of rock underneath until it attaches itself to the rock. Also if your clam is injured during transportaion/capture it might be a serious problem, bet we'll talk about that when you have more updates.

thanx for the quick response, the clam is a purple one thats about 3-4 inches hes still feeding. he is sitting on the bottom in the sand but thats where the store had him when i bought him i should of put him in the QT tank but ive just wanted a clam for so long i got ahead of myself!!! he seems healthy but everytime i put him back up he just falls back over by night and he seems to keep spinning at night is my current to strong for him?
