Removing a clam from a rock????

[Slick Fork]

I just got a clam off a rock today by tilting the rock sideways. It took about a week for him to completely let go, Maybe it makes a difference how high the rock is off the sandbed. I made sure that this was only an inch or so drop for it.

I got it free from the rock last night with my dremel, cut as much of the rock away bit by bit until it was free. Didn't want to hurt the clam by cutting it away. Only down side was the electric shock I got from the dremel and then dropped it into the water, wife is a little mad cause it was a xmas gift.

I've dosed flatworm exit to my tank twice with no effect on my one clam, why not just treat the rock the clam is on for flatworms? I know you've already found a solutions, but the clam itself is likely hiding baby flatworms in its nooks and crannies so I'd probably want to treat with FWE regardless.

Great to hear you solved your clam issue without killing yourself, funny when i read the original post i thought this is a problem that Timt would be able to solve if the different placement trick didnt work and then i read on to see the clam expert beat my thought
