Re: Jumping Maxima

Maxima's are rock boring clams and you should place a flat rock under it so it can lay it's byssal filaments and then place it on the rockwork.

If your ideal location for your Tridacnid is going to be on the substrate, I would suggest that you place a small piece of rock or tile about 1/8” to 1/2” below the substrate. When the clam starts to lay down its byssal filaments, it can attach to that object. This will also prevent potential predators from entering the byssal opening and doing damage to vital organs.
