Well I have a problem that hopefully someone can give me a remedy to.

Two nights ago I was looking in the tank and the small clam that I told everyone about in my build thread disappeared. I figured that something happened to it like someone ate it, or it decided it didn't like to be where it was. Wierd huh. I thought it was very secure where it was, reason being it was in a hole secure. Wrong.

So today I was looking around in the tank and noticed something. I have an Astrea snail crawling around with an attachment. The clam is attached to the snail's foot.

So the question is, how the heck do I get it to let go to be able to put it somewhere where it will grow up?

Any ideas would be great.

And if you absolutely need pics I have to wait until the snail moves to an area where I can get a picture. It's up around the top of the tank behind the return jets. May be a while, remember it's a snail.
