Derasa’s will lose attachment fairly early. They rely on their weight to keep them in place.I also picked one up from Petco. I can’t seem to get it attached. It’s been about a week.
Mine seems to be always on its side, I can’t tell if someone knocks it over or it falls over on its own. Tried both rock and sand. Kind of getting frustrated with it.Derasa’s will lose attachment fairly early. They rely on their weight to keep them in place.
You can place a few small pieces of rock or rubble on either side to help keep it up. Just make sure the clam has the ability to open and close fully.Mine seems to be always on its side, I can’t tell if someone knocks it over or it falls over on its own. Tried both rock and sand.

How long does it take to regrow the foot if it lost one? Mine is either fully retracted or missing.You can place a few small pieces of rock or rubble on either side to help keep it up. Just make sure the clam has the ability to open and close fully.
It may not release byssal threads at all. I have a 3”+ derasa that never released byssal threads. As long as the byssal organ is intact, you’re good. Gigas and derasa rely on their weight to keep them in place, when they lose byssal attachment varies.How long does it take to regrow the foot if it lost one?

Nice! I’m an advocate for frequent small feedings throughout the day.Got a better pic today while changing water. The colors are just incredible!
Unfortunately, my red-lined wrasse is still nipping at it on occasion. Which is weird, because he leaves my 6" derasa in the sand bed alone.
I wonder if increased feeding will cull that behavior a bit?
