Icon14 Clams...

I recently moved my clam from the sand onto a rock so he could be closer to the light. just before I am going to bed, I looked over my tank to check if everything was okay. I have noticed that my clam is not in the same position that I had put him on the rock.

So I guess my question is, Can clams move? or is it one of my pesky hermit crabs moving him around?

oops, wrong section of the forums, hope no one gets mad!

Clams do move. Depending on how you place it, the clam will position itself so that it can attach by the byssal threads. Also, other animals can nudge it around.

Clams move. Usually down wards... I have never seen any of mine go up.... Except Scallops but I assume were talking about maxs or somthing like that.
