Well I took the plunge again. I had a Crocea before and had it for a long time until I started moving things around in my 70. I just got an electric Crocea and it has adjusted very well. Likes the flow and the lighting. Doesn't hurt that he gets phyto to eat as well.

Nice Clam.

I got one about a month ago. He's only now stopped moving around the sand bad. I buried a piece of rubble under the sand for him to attach to and seems 100% happier.

Well I am not sure what happened but on the third day he just disolved. My water params are great, so I don't know what could have happened...maybe I should have put him in the sand and not on the LR. The LFS told my to put him up as high as possible for stronger lighting...so I did and that is what happened. More than the $79 down the drain, I would like to be able to keep clams and I am not sure why not.

This is frustrating.
 
Thanks STP, appreciate it.
