i want to get my clams up off of the sand bed and into my mountains of live rock, unfortunately whenever i try to place my clams on shelf-like pieces of rock they end up back in the sand bed within a few days... any advice on what to do with my 2 inch super colour maxima, 4.5 inch crocea, 2.5 inch squamosa, or 2.5 inch haha i dont even know the name of the last one... it is brown with an intricate black pattern running through it in a cross-hatch sort of fashion..

thanks for your time.

If clams are not happy with their current location they will move and do some cliff diving on you. Try to place them in a low current area while still receiving mucho lighting.

I got my first clams a week ago so i'm still learning.

The system is skimmed by a turboflotor 1000 multi and heated by the daily photoperoid.
