Croceas are rock dwelling clams. They also love high light so get him up in the rockwork.

Leave the clam in the sand bed for a couple of weeks. put a small piece of flat rock under the clam so it can start attaching to the rock. After your clam has attached to the rock, move it up to the rocks slowly, this will allow the clam time to acclimate to your light. If you would have put her up on the rocks right away it will hurt it. Imaging going out into the sunny outside after having your pupils dilated from the optomotrist...
