C for clam; c for confusion

mine move as well, but only a couple inches here or there, except one that decided to land on the carpet anemone... all I got was the shell back

Thanks everyone

So the thing is, they move around the spot they are placed to find a comfy spot right? Nothing more than couple of inches..

A day sure. If they moved a half inch a day in a couple days it settles in. I have a clam that launched off the rocks.

I am planning to get something that stays on sand. Can't risk on rocks :P

I have a crocea and a maxima... neither have moved aside from adjusting their angle.
I've kept the crocea on sand and rock. seemed to like both, however I did notice that on the sand, small bristle worms would take shelter under it and probably annoyed it to a degree.

I picked up a maxima from the big Cook Island order from Blue World last year. Being an ultra grade, I figured it would want extremely intense light, so up high on the rocks it went. Came back the next day to find it laying face down on the sand. Tried a little lower down and the same thing happened. It has been on the sand ever since and it doing just fine.
