My maxima clam keeps ending up on the sandbed

My new maxima (thanks skins for id) keeps ending up on my sandbed. I've tried placing him on rocks and he ends up on the bottom.

Leave him in the sand, he's trying to tell you something. Put a small rock under him, that will give him something to attach to.

This was only overnight though. Could he of moved off the rock or is it that his bysall glands weren't attached and the flow knocked him over. I don't think my lights are strong enough for him to be at the bottom

+1 leave him on the sand for a while while he get's used to your tank.

I've got a couple maximas. The one that's 2.5in I did as I was told and placed in the sandbed but I had the same concern as you about enough light. I kept placing him diff spots, middle of tank, till he attached (see photo). I also have a baby maxima that's hardly an inch. He lives in my frag rack at top half of tank. Both are doing awesomely.
