Accidental fragging aside, I have performed a fragging of the Fiji Turqouise birdsnest. I had to do so as the Maxima had adjusted itself into the position where its mantle touches the branch(which was fragged). Had tried to move the Maxima away several times but it kept moving back. Had observed that the mantle will retract whenever it touches the birdsnest polyps. I was worried the clam gets stung.
The red circle indicates the point it was seperated from the mother colony. The orange arrow indicates the point the mantle of the clam that retracts.
