Attaching New Crocea

[reefer]

I keep putting my new crocea perched on a rock and within a couple hours it expels waste and knocks itself off the rock. What is a good way to hold it there until it attaches. The rock I want it on is too big to move around so that I can confine him. How have you all done it? I forgot how I did my others.

The way I did my giant gigas, was to kinda wedge him in the rocks, but you got to make sure that he can open as far as he wants or he'll be a mad clam My gigas is doing so well, hes grown a few mm of new calcium line from when I got him at the vendor psas meeting not too long ago. What lighting do you keep the crocea under?

See if you can find an old clam shell. Put it underneath him and let him attach to that. You can move him anywhere you want after that.

What lighting do you keep the crocea under?

Lots of light. 1 250w 6500 and 2 400W xm 10k. My other crocea loves the lights. The mantles stick out a mile at least.

That is a lot of light and very high PAR.

I agree with the clam halfshell idea. I have all my clams in a clam halfshell. This way when it's time to check for pyramid's it is no big deal and I can replace them exactly back where they were.
