DIY Clam mounting help needed

[Altohombre]

The Teardrop Maxima I have in the sand keeps falling over to one side. It is clearly having an issue attaching its foot in the 2.5" sandbed and I want to add something under it. Unfortunately I don't have any flat pieces of rock to add under the clam and was wondering if anything in my house could work. The things that have come to mind are a piece of acrylic from my glass canopy I used or a large bottle cap from maybe a pickle jar. Has anyone tried anything with success other than putting it on LR?

The cap would corrode. How about a piece of ceramic tile?

I dont know how clams feet work, but would it attach to something like eggcrate?

Put it up on the rocks. If you want it to attach so you can move it up you can use a half shell. They aren't sand dwellers.

Sometimes you can buy half clam shells from your LFS. Put it in your rockwork and put the clam on it. This "bowl" type shape helps keep the clam in place until it attaches. Otherwise, any "flatish" rock will work out the same way. As was mentioned above, your particular clam is a rock dweller and not a sand dweller.
