I couldn't find any free “cradle” models for newly added clams. A lot of the times you need to move them around and acclimate them to your lighting, and its hard to leave them on the sand bed especially if you have urchins that love to create chaos in your tank. That's why I created this. It's super simple, and not the most elegant looking design but the main purpose is keeping your clam upright, and being easy to mount or fix to different areas of your tank, which is handy when you're acclimating them.
You will want to adjust the dimensions of the model to the size of your clam. This could take some tinkering.
One version has a smaller circular base to mount onto rock, the other has a large rectangular base to bury into the sand for stability. I also added a version with no bottom so you could print out your own base of whatever size or shape you need and glue them together.
