Hi, we are rearranging things in our tank (just changed substrate) and I was wondering how you all display your clams? At one LFS I was told you put it right in the sand, at another I was told you put it up on the rocks and at still another I was told you put it ON the sand ON a piece of grate. We had it just sitting in the sand but after a few days it appeared it was digging itself a hole from opening and closing I guess. lol. Once we figure out HOW to display it, we have another problem... which WAY to display it? When we bought it it was displayed with it's mouth-like opening facing front. In the picture of the month though it appears their clam is facing with the spout like opening front... which is right? and does it matter? I found a place where I could get the Giant Clams book for 10.00 delivered (instead of 40 + shipping from pet warehouse) so I ordered it but it won't be here for a little while and I would like to move the clam back in to the tank today, and then not disturb him again for a while. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
