    As stated in my title I have a DIY Whirly Bird return that spins 360 and casts a shadow from the moonlights. Everytime the shadow gets to the clam it retracts just a little. Its already really closed up from the lights being on but the little that is out you can see it retract a little.

    Will this cause a lot of stress on it or will it get used to it over time?

    I am pretty sure it will get used to it. There should be no ill effects if it doesn't though.

    i agree with jonjonwells but if it continues for more than a week I would be concerned.

    Just looked and it has stopped retracting! Sorry for wasting server space just wanted to make sure the clam was getting stressed super bad.
