Clam cradle

[MadReefer]

My clam keeps getting knocked over. Went to buy a cradle but pretty pricey for indented clay or plastic. Anyone know of an easy way to make one?

What type of clam?

 

[MadReefer]

Crocea about 3.5 inches.

How long have you had it? It should lockdown with threads overnight if it likes where it is. Can you get it between two rocks?

 

[MadReefer]

It was anchored but got knocked over. Even dragged to back if tank. It doesn't move and open all day.

I've always just bought them. They cost $5

The clam hammocks are cool but just make sure you cure them like you would dry rock in your sump 1st before you toss em in. They'll get "ugly" and algae covered if you don't

Talking to Eric he said the clam should be on rock, store said sand. I googled and yep place on rock. I put on the boat deck, hopefully will grab hold. If it fall not going anywhere.

I've been having this issue too.. here's what I've done. I am hoping he's footed by the weekend.

I use an old half clam shell as a cradle - they attach to that and then you can move it.

I have to get to some frag plugs when the 3d printer is acting decently again. Look up '3d printed cradles' find what you want (I need an STL file) and I'll print it for you. if you cant find anything I'm sure we can design something fairly easily, like a nail.

I moved it to the boat deck. So far so good.
Thanks for the offer.
