NO! if its attached. Leave him be. if you cut his foot you could kill him. He could just be finiky...do not cut him

ifits attached its happy, and probably just acclimating slowly to its new light and environment, if its under 3"you might want to dose with a lil phyto.

Youre lucky. My clam is a wanderer. Has never attached to anything despite being all over the aquarium from top to bottom.
