they like to be on the rock. You won't have to glue him. Place him up high and kinda brace him there and he'll stick himself to the rock. His glue is better than yours=)

do NOT glue him
if he doesnt like where you put him he will jump.......keep moving him until he likes it OR if you are insisitent about putting him in a certain place....he needs to be in a bowl shaped indent that he cant jump out of...he will attach, although I recommend not doing that and just keeping moving him until he likes it
another thing you can do, is to put a rock underneath him in the substrate. and either leave him there, or then once he attaches you can epoxy the rock where you want. although under 150's he will be happier higher

I believe Derasa clams prefer to be in the sandbed
