I recently got a beautiful maxima. While I have had clams before, this is my first clam in a BB aquarium. After getting him I placed him on a spot on the rocks I felt he would be likely happy in. Unfortunately that night he decided he wanted to move, I was a bit surprised how much he ended up moving actually.
Well needless to say, he ended up moving himself to a place between two rocks which are not wide enough to allow him to fully open. I have tried a couple times to see how attached he was (including the morning after I noticed he moved), and he is definitely secured to the bare bottom.
Water flow and lighting should be fine in this spot (Tank has a lot of light!). So the question is just if him not being able to fully open will be problematic to him. If I were to move him, what would be the best way to do it without damaging him? He is very securely attached to the bare bottom.
Here are some pictures so you can see exactly how much he can open. Please excuse the algae, that's another story I am working on.
