Just picked up my first clam. A Crocea. I have him in the sand bed sitting pointed straight up. It looks like I can see through his shell on the side farthest from me. Kinda looks like he used to be leaning on that side and that is where his foot came out. My question is should I re-place him so that part is in the sand? Leave him, he will adjust to his new position or Let him move himself?

can you post a photo of the clam?

I can in the morning. The lights are out now.

i cant see the hole you are talking about in those photos. if the clam is not attached, remove it from the tank and get a good clear photo of what you are talking about and post it here

When I moved him from the sand to the rock it looks like that is where he sticks his foot out of his shell and the foot was inside the shell. Is this normal? I've been told that He'll reach out with the foot and attach when he is comfortable.
