Best place for a Tridacna Clam?

[catmel]

Just curious to know what the best place is to put a small ( maybe 2-3 inch) clam? I've read various levels of the aquarium.. everywhere from the substrate, to if rockwork will allow it, the higher the better. I know these things grow huge eventually..I know the rock can support a good amount of weight..I was told when I bought it to " put it as high as you can"

I have 2 x 150watt MH lights ( only one on at the moment, above the clam) and 2 x 96 watt PC 50/50 bulbs.

Its pretty small, and seems pretty happy high in the tank... should I bother moving it?

Just curious to see what others think.

Heres a pic, and a pic of the tnak ( its on the very top rock)

Thanks!

I've read that smaller clams have a thinner membrane on them and should be treated accordingly. Not sure what level he should be at to begin with though...

That looks like a crocea. They like to be on the rocks and need lots of light. It's probably fine where you have it. If it already attached itself, don't try to move it.
