    So I recently received two clams from ReefEmpire Blue Crocea's. I placed them in the tank on some rockwork where they where stable. and Wasnt sure about If i wanted them there or not. Ones almost on the top and ones mid rock work. (My rocks only go up to about halfway of the tanks height.

    I turned the actinics on came back after eating supper which was about 45 minutes, and the clams already locked their foots in place and are fully oppened, :O Guess they are staying there.

    Is this normal for them to foot themselves right away?
