Hi
Yesterday I purchased a small Tridacna Crocea, a real beauty
trouble is I didn't really notice how small it was until I got it home and saw it next to my other crocea and maxima anyway I picked a nice spot for it
but horror, my sally lightfoot crab (which is quite large) kept pestering it and trying to turn it upside down, last night all appeared well but when I came down this morning it was lying on it's side with my other crocea and the crab was lurking nearby.
I thought it was a goner but I made a depression out of some epoxy and little stones and put it in a plastic fish trap I have and it has opened out and seems to be ok what I want to ask is, is it all right to leave it in there for a couple of days to give it a chance to attach itself properly to the rocks/epoxy the trap has a door so nothing can get into it and that will give me a chance to catch the sally (which I suspect of a goby death)
What do ya think, I've also been feeding it some Marine Deluxe
as I understand it can be beneficial to feed smaller clams
Thanks
Carolyn
