how do you move a clam once it attaches?

[fresh]

Just as the title says...

I have a clam that has attached to a piece of rock that is almost impossible to move, yet I would like to move the location of the clam!

The reason I want this done is because there is a rock covered with GSP that is right next to the clam and is touching/covering the clam.

I also wanted to know how harmful are the GSP's to clams?

Thanks

Best way is to take a razor and cut the clam's foot as close to the rock as you can.

Maybe see if you can scrape the rock under the foot rather than the foot itself.

Definately cut/chisel the rock away that the foot is attached too, dont cut the foot.

It is easy to razor blade the byssal threads if you can get under the clam. You just don't want to pull on it too hard.

Exactly as Emily stated, cut the byssal threads with a razor. This will not harm the clam in anyway.
